Picea glauca ‘Christmas Star’

is a popular, slow-growing, dwarf evergreen conifer widely used as a “living” Christmas tree due to its dense, conical shape and fine green-to-blue-green foliage. It is a cultivar of the White Spruce that is often preferred for its more slender and faster-growing habit compared to similar varieties like ‘Albertiana Conica’.
