Picea abies 'Will's Zwerg' – Miniature Spruce for Christmas and Beyond
This charming dwarf spruce is perfect as a living Christmas tree that can last for decades with the right care. Compact and slow-growing, Picea abies 'Will's Zwerg' thrives in containers on balconies or terraces, and can also be planted directly in the garden.
● Where to grow Picea abies 'Will's Zwerg'
Plant in fertile, well-drained soil in full sun or partial shade. In pots, choose a large container with good drainage. Outdoors, this spruce remains hardy and keeps a neat, miniature form without the need for heavy pruning.
● Using your miniature spruce at Christmas
This plant can be brought indoors for the festive season. To keep it healthy:
- Bring it inside no more than 10 days before Christmas.
- Keep away from radiators, fireplaces, or other heat sources.
- Water regularly so the root ball does not dry out.
● After Christmas care
Do not move the spruce straight outside if temperatures are below zero. Because the tree has been kept warm indoors, its winter dormancy is interrupted, and sudden exposure to frost can cause severe damage. Instead:
- Place in a frost-free, bright spot until temperatures rise.
- Once mild weather returns, gradually move it outdoors.
- Long-term, it can remain in a container or be planted in the garden.
● Why choose Picea abies 'Will's Zwerg'
Unlike cut trees, this living spruce can be enjoyed year after year. With proper care, it will continue to grow slowly into a robust, miniature conifer — making it a sustainable and beautiful Christmas tradition.
