Dwarf Alberta spruce trees are one of the most recognizable specimens in North American landscape design. You'll often see them used in pairs to flank the entryway to a house for a formal look that strives for balance. Because dwarf Alberta spruce trees will remain relatively small for a number of years, people sometimes treat them (at least initially) as container plants -- in which role they can double as Christmas trees!
