Picea abies 'Suncrest No. 2' (Suncrest Gardens, PA 1990s) 2019 photo - Common Name: Dwarf Norway Spruce, Size at 10 years: 2x2ft., Silve blue needles, USDA Hardiness Zone 4, In Garden Bed HR-P for 22.8 YEARS (HLG). Planted in 1997.
ACS: Picea abies 'Suncrest' is a deservedly popular dwarf selection of Norway spruce that is quite dense and globose when young, later becoming slightly pyramidal with age. Older plants resemble the Hershey's Kiss candy. Branching is close and uniform and the needles are brilliantly silver-blue in color. 'Suncrest' is one of the bluest-known dwarf Norway spruces.
After 10 years of growth, a mature specimen will measure 20 inches (50 cm) tall and a bit narrower, an annual growth rate of 1.5 - 2 inches (3 - 5 cm).
This cultivar originated as a witch's broom found on a typical green Norway spruce by Gregg Gulden at Suncrest Gardens, Mt. Holly, Pennsylvania, USA and introduced to the nursery trade in the late 1990s . 'Suncrest No. 2' is considered synonymous and is likely a provisional name.
Location: Michigan State University, Hidden Lake Gardens, Tipton, MI. Harper Collection of Rare & Dwarf Conifers. 42°01'42.0"N 84°06'44.3"W
