Dwarf Alberta Spruce vs Medora Juniper
Picea glauca conica
Juniperus scopulorum Medora
NOT AVAILABLE THIS SEASON
Dwarf Alberta Spruce is a small tree with very dense foliage. It is an attractive specimen in landscape designs and small yards. This plant naturally grows into the classic conical shape, but responds well to shearing and pruning.
Dwarf Alberta Spruce is hardy and disease resistant. However, its thick foliage can collect mildew. Consider planting this tree in an open space where the wind can dry out its needles.
You can use this cultivar as a substitute for cedar or juniper.
Medora Juniper has an upright, narrow growth habit that makes it well suited as either an accent shrub or as a privacy hedge or screen. It is a compact, pyramidal evergreen shrub with blue-green foliage that lasts year round.
It is low maintenance, drought tolerant, and deer resistant. Medora Juniper is known for holding its form well without pruning. If pruning is desired it is best done in late winter after the threat of extreme cold has passed.
