Picea abies "PUSCH'

Picea abies ‘Pusch’ a darling 1/2 in red cones at the end of the branches. Named the American Conifer Society, Collector’s Conifer of the Year in 2008, the small, slow-growing Picea abies ‘Pusch’ is a witch’s broom from P.a. ‘Acrocona’ that produces loads of bright red cones on many short branches in spring. The tiny cones brown as they age, but continue to decorate the irregular, dwarf variety year-round. Globose when young, the small spruce develops an upright broad shape with maturity. It is extremely hardy and grows well in full sun or part shade.
