Picea abies 'Little Gem' is a deservedly popular and desirable dwarf conifer. It makes a superb rock garden subject.

After 10 years of growth, a mature specimen will measure 30 cm (1 foot) high and 45 cm (18 inches) across, an annual growth rate of 1 inch (2.5 cm) or less.

Growing and Maintenance Tips
