Picea abies 'Thumbelina'

'Thumbelina' Norway Spruce originated from a witch's broom, or a mutated/diseased growth on another dwarf spruce. As the fairy tale Thumbelina came from a flower, this dwarf conifer is aptly, if ironically named. 'Thumbelina' grows slowly to be slightly wider than tall, forming a dense, bun-shaped mat, decorated with brown buds in the fall. Appropriate for use in fairy gardens or as a bonsai specimen, this small spruce has a year-round presence and does well in container planters.
