Available for Store Pickup or Local Delivery Only Big Berta White Spruce is the larger, more vigorous cousin of the beloved Dwarf Alberta Spruce, offering the same tidy, naturally conical form but with longer needles, a slightly more open texture, and a faster growth rate that lets you see real impact in your garden sooner. Bright light green new growth emerges each spring and matures to a refined gray-green that holds through winter, giving the tree a fresh, two-season color display that keeps it visually interesting year-round. At 12 feet tall and just 6 feet wide, it fits comfortably in spaces where a full-sized spruce would overwhelm, and it is exceptionally cold hardy down to Zone 2, making it one of the most reliable choices for challenging Midwest climates. A versatile and low-maintenance accent for borders, foundations, or massed plantings.
