Thank you ken_adrian Adrian MI cold Z5 . You right it looks like it is picea abies. I was praying that it was a Dwarf version like I saw one in Vancouver Botanical garden, which was beautiful but if it grows so high it will certainly need to come out there soon before it is overgrown. Thanks for your help. There are just so many varieties of conifers.

Any cones? Could be P. abies, but has a P. orientalis look about it as well.

The current growth rate almost guarantees that it is not a 'dwarf' version of any spruce.

Doesn't look particularly like orientalis.

Thank you very much! I haven't seen cones yet...

annual growth is the definition of size descriptions ... at least according the the ACS ....

if you want a true DWARF .... you most likely will have to mail order or visit a dedicated conifer nursery ... you are not going to find them at bigbox

here is one canadian vendor: https://www.whistlinggardens.ca/

and here is the catalog https://www.whistlinggardens.ca/catalogues.php

if this place was within 3 hours of my house.. i would pack a picnic.. and hit the road ...

and keep in mind .... fall is a great planting time ...

this is the front of your castle.. consider buying some quality plants.. that will be there for a decade or two ... no matter what the cost might be.. for a small starter plant ... this isnt a place for bargain telephone poles.. lol ...

Thank you Ken. Very interesting info. I'll be studying it on American Conifer Society site. Its full of info. THank you so much once again. This tree that I was inquiring is actually grows near Cleveland Ohio not in Canada. It is actually not that far to drive to Canadian Whistling gardens that you sent info. Thank you

The only problem you can't probably bring trees in the car from Canada but that's another matter. I will have to find something like a tree nursery somewhere in Ohio. Thank you
