Picea glauca 'Conica
Choose Dwarf Alberta Spruce for a formal, narrow evergreen accent near an entry or walkway; the tradeoff is that it needs a protected, well-drained spot and will not forgive heat, drought, or poor airflow.
Buy This If
You want a neat cone shape.
You can water during dry spells.
You like a formal look.
Skip This If
The site is windy and exposed.
You need quick size.
Deer feed there often.
PGNE Report Card
Category
Grade
Why
Landscape Impact
B+
It gives a clean architectural look, but it is more formal than natural.
Growth Rate
C
Its slow growth is useful for shape control but frustrating if you need size soon.
Maintenance
B-
It needs little pruning, but site stress can show quickly in browning tips.
Deer Resistance
A-
Deer usually pass this by, since the foliage deters browsing, though no plant is completely immune where pressure is severe.
Small Space Fit
A-
Its upright habit works well in tight, designed spaces when given breathing room.
Screening Value
D
It is too slow and narrow to be a practical privacy screen.
Our Experience
At PGNE, we would place this where it gets airflow, steady moisture, and some protection from winter wind rather than using it in a hot foundation corner.

Customers Usually Ask
Does it need trimming to stay cone-shaped?
Usually no; its natural shape is the main reason to buy it.
Can it stay in a pot?
Yes, but the pot needs consistent watering and winter protection.
Why is mine browning?
Common causes are drought stress, poor airflow, reflected heat, or winter exposure.
Privacy & Screening: Many varieties grow dense and full, making them ideal for natural hedges and property boundaries.
Seasonal Color & Texture: From evergreen foliage to flowering varieties, shrubs provide visual interest in every season.
Shrubs Grown to Perform in New England
At Pro Growers of New England, our shrubs are grown and maintained locally to perform in true New England conditions. From flowering varieties to evergreen foundation plants, each shrub is properly spaced, pruned, and cared for to develop strong root systems and balanced structure before it ever reaches your landscape.
Unlike large online sellers that ship plants long distances, we invite you to visit our nursery, walk the rows, and inspect the exact shrubs available. You can see the size, health, and fullness in person — ensuring there are no surprises upon delivery.
We use your zone to recommend plants that survive your winters, and to estimate when your
order ships — we ship each plant when the weather where you live is right for it.

I went up there today from Quincy MA to pick up two Blue Wichita Junipers and they were absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Chris and everybody from Pro Growers of New England!

The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!

Great prices and Unbelievable selection of big and small trees, shrubs, and flowering perennials! Nicest folks to work with. And local delivery is awesome! First time purchasing from this company, , and have already told friends, neighbors and family. The owner Chris is professional, knowledgeable, and yet laid back in a most friendly way. Mags in the office will help with any details. My all time BEST garden purchase EVER!
Bought 8-10 ft and all were barely 8 if you count the container. Trees are thin and lots of brown branches and broken branches due you thrown in box truck no wrapping or anything. Hoping they survive and thicken up quick…
