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 and tolerates moderate wind. It also handles various humidity levels and climates. Plus, it's deer-resistant, which is great for those in areas with common wildlife.

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, ensuring your spruce stays healthy.

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 something similar 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. Keep an eye out for signs of stress, such as needle drop or browning, to help keep your living Christmas tree healthy and vibrant throughout the holidays.

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 outdoor exposure to help it adapt smoothly. The indoor warmth may have interrupted its winter dormancy, so sudden exposure to cold 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.
