1. How big does the Tiny Tower® Dwarf Alberta Spruce get?
Despite its name, this tree doesn’t stay tiny forever—but it is slow-growing and stays compact. It typically reaches about 4-6 feet tall and 2 feet wide over many years, making it ideal for small spaces or containers.

2. Can I grow this spruce in a container?
Absolutely. The Tiny Tower® thrives in containers, especially on patios, entryways, or balconies. Just make sure the pot has good drainage and is big enough to support root growth. It’s a stylish way to add year-round greenery to hardscaped areas.

3. Does it need any pruning or shaping?
Not really. This spruce has a naturally tidy, pyramidal shape. Light pruning can be done to remove any stray or damaged branches, but shaping isn't usually needed. It's a low-maintenance evergreen that stays looking sharp all year long.

4. How much sunlight does it need?
Full to part sun is best—about 6 hours a day. It can handle light shade, but growth may slow even more. If grown indoors or on shaded patios, make sure it gets bright indirect light at minimum.

5. Is the Tiny Tower® cold-hardy?
Yes, it’s very cold-hardy and can withstand harsh winters (zones 3–8). Just be cautious with container-grown plants—roots in pots can freeze more easily than those in the ground, so protect the container or move it to a sheltered spot in colder zones.
