This is One Ugly Ole’ Plant

Sorry to be a hater. I’ve tried really to like this one but just can’t pretend anymore.

The Dwarf Alberta spruce. Even when they are happy, where to put it? It’s too wide to frame entryways, too short to screen. It looks like a stumpy misshapen ice cream cone when fully grown. It doesn’t like to be put in areas with little air circulation, or too much. It can get spider mites.

What are we missing with this one? The seem pretty popular around town.

We had three that looked just like the picture when we got our house a few years ago. They got ripped up real quick.

As my mom used to say, “he was beat with the ugly stick.”
