I've never seen cones either. From the Arnold Files.. "As
a specimen plant, dwarf Alberta spruce has few disadvantages, rarely
producing cones".

Nice history of the cultivar Picea glauca var. albertiana f. conica

It's a juvenille form that won't grow up. It will eventually get big, but not mature.

hot spit... thats too logical winter

a real 'duh' moment for me ...

the eternal grade schcooler ... lol ..

whats interesting is the i have crestwood kenny ... a branch sport on a rainbows end ... and right next to it.. a reversion to glauca on a conica ...

and both coned last year ...

i guess they are using the dwarfs as rather large understock.. but the plant above is mature... go figure ...

and just to bring it full circle.. has anyone has ever seen cones on rainbows end...??? .. the answer should be the same...
