A Beautiful Evergreen for Year-Round Charm




Bring the magic of Christmas to life year after year with Picea glauca 'Super Green', a beautiful Alberta spruce. Whether on your balcony, terrace, or in the garden, this evergreen adds year-round charm. Its vibrant green needles and compact form make it perfect for enhancing any outdoor space, making it an ideal choice for those looking for a living Christmas tree that lasts.


How to Plant and Care for Picea glauca 'Super Green'




Picea glauca 'Super Green', also known as Alberta spruce, grows at a steady rate, eventually reaching a height of about 1.5 to 2 meters. This makes it perfect for smaller outdoor spaces or container planting. It adapts well to urban environments, tolerates moderate wind, and handles various humidity levels and climates. Plus, it's deer-resistant, making it a great choice for gardens in wildlife-prone areas.


For best results, plant Picea glauca 'Super Green' in a large container or directly in your garden. It thrives in well-drained, fertile soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0-7.0) and does well in full sun or partial shade. To promote healthy growth, use a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring, applying about 50 grams per square meter. Mulching around the base every six months helps retain moisture and protect the roots.


Although low-maintenance, Picea glauca 'Super Green' can sometimes attract pests like spider mites and aphids. Regular checks and the use of insecticidal soap or horticultural oil can help keep pests at bay, ensuring your spruce remains vibrant and healthy.


Bringing Your Living Christmas Tree Indoors




To bring festive cheer indoors, move your Picea glauca 'Super Green' inside about 10 days before Christmas. Gradually reduce its exposure to direct sunlight a few days before the move to help it acclimatize smoothly. When transporting it, wrap the container in burlap or similar material to protect the roots and minimize stress.


Once inside, keep Picea glauca 'Super Green' away from heat sources like radiators or fireplaces, and ensure the soil stays moist but not waterlogged. Monitor for signs of stress, such as needle drop or browning, to keep your living Christmas tree healthy throughout the holiday season.


After Christmas Care for Picea glauca 'Super Green'




After the holidays, don’t place your Picea glauca 'Super Green' directly outdoors if temperatures are below freezing. Instead, keep it in a bright, frost-free spot to help it gradually adjust. Ideally, maintain a temperature between 5 to 10°C during this transition. Allow about 7 to 10 days before moving it back outdoors, gradually increasing its exposure to outdoor conditions. The indoor warmth may have interrupted its winter dormancy, so sudden exposure to freezing temperatures can be harmful.


With proper post-holiday care, your Picea glauca 'Super Green' will thrive and bring joy year after year, adding natural beauty to your garden, balcony, or patio.
