Tiny Tower® Dwarf Alberta Spruce

A perfect emerald cone that holds its shape year after year — no shearing, no surprises, just neat evergreen structure in a footprint barely two feet wide.

Tiny Tower® Dwarf Alberta Spruce (Picea glauca var. conica 'MonRon') is a slow-growing, naturally cone-shaped conifer dressed in dense, soft, bright green needles. Left to its own devices it forms a tight, symmetrical pyramid all on its own — reaching only 4 to 6 feet tall and about 2 feet wide at maturity. That narrow, upright habit makes it one of the most dependable little evergreens for tight spaces, framing entryways, and adding vertical green where a full-size tree would never fit.

Why growers choose the Tiny Tower® Dwarf Alberta Spruce

• Self-shaping form. It grows into a crisp, formal cone naturally — you get topiary-style structure without ever picking up the shears.
• Genuinely compact. At roughly 2 feet wide, it slips into narrow beds, corners, and spots flanking a door where wider evergreens simply won't work.
• Year-round green. The fine, densely packed needles stay soft green through every season, including the dead of winter.
• Cold-tough and slow. Hardy all the way to Zone 3 and very slow-growing, so it stays in scale for years and rarely outgrows its place.
• Deer tend to leave it alone. Like most spruces, its needles are far less appealing to browsing deer than arborvitae.

Use it as a matched pair beside a front door, as a tidy accent in a foundation planting, as a living focal point in a large container, or lined up in a row to draw a low, formal evergreen border. Wherever you want neat vertical structure without the bulk, this is the spruce that delivers it.
