Add year-round structure and elegance to your landscape with Picea orientalis ‘Mt. Vernon’, a slow-growing, miniature to dwarf variety of Oriental Spruce prized for its dense, compact form and softly textured evergreen needles. Unlike full-size Oriental Spruce, this compact cultivar stays small, making it an excellent choice for foundation plantings, rock gardens, small landscapes, or as a specimen in conifer collections. The foliage of ‘Mt. Vernon’ is deep, glossy green with a soft texture that holds its color beautifully throughout all seasons. Its naturally compact growth habit eliminates the need for frequent pruning, allowing it to maintain a tidy, architectural shape with minimal care. This conifer is hardy, adaptable, and thrives in full sun to partial shade, performing well in a wide range of soil conditions once established.

Key Features:

  • Foliage: Deep, glossy green needles
  • Uses: Rock gardens, small landscapes, specimen planting, foundation beds, conifer collections, year-round interest, bonsai
