Picea

A slow growing witches broom of ‘Acrocona’ that appeared around 1987 in Berlin, it cones on the branch tips at a young age with perfect miniature cones, however all the energy put into cones makes for a weak growing plant, perhaps it would be a good Idea to prune cones from young plants for the first few years.

Upright conical the new spring foliage is creamy yellow; it’s very beautiful in spring combined with Lundel’s red needle.

An old cultivar that goes back to Beissner in 1891, it is a robust but tight growing plant that is somewhat confused in American cultivation with ‘Clanbrassiliana’ however the two look nothing alike, Clanbrassiliana’ is much dwarfer.
