FAT ALBERT SPRUCE  Picea pungens ‘Fat Albert’
• A famous, reliably broad‑pyramidal blue spruce cultivar known for its dense branching and naturally symmetrical form—no staking or shaping required.
• Needles are stiff, short, and intensely silver‑blue, holding their colour exceptionally well even in full prairie sun.
• Growth is slower and more compact than the species, giving it a stout, muscular appearance that makes it a standout specimen in any landscape.
• Extremely hardy and wind‑tolerant, thriving in exposed prairie sites; prefers full sun and well‑drained soils.
• Highly resistant to deer browsing and generally low‑maintenance, requiring little more than space and sunlight.
• Excellent as a focal point, anchor planting, or evergreen statement tree in front yards, open lawns, and mixed conifer plantings.
• Full Sun
• Zone 2, 6–10 m Height × 4–5 m Width
