Some help please identifying one of my trees.
I once saw something very similar to it and it was called a dwarf Alberta spruce.
Is possibly an accurate assessment?
Thanks :tu:

Yeah, I reckon it is a spruce.
Looks remarkably like mine. Only more alive.

Hi ness , its a Picea Glauca Var' Albertaina 'Conica' , if you do a google search you should find plenty of info on all the variants .

Cheers Alpineart

Ah ha! Thats it! It does turn into a fuzzy green marsh mellow when unkept!
Now, are they any good for bonsai?
It's a little late for me to ask I guess since I already have some time invested in it :P
That, and I think I have another one thats about ten years off this one...

Yeah, I concur, looks just like what I had. I had one of these a long time ago. It was kept on a balcony, and thus needed more sun and unfortunately died, but it makes a great bonsai.
