And ensure you plant your tree a few feet away from any nearby structures. When you’re ready to plant, dig your hole shallower than the root ball and at least twice the width, loosening the soil throughout so that the roots can break through easily. Then, back fill the hole while watering to remove any air pockets. Once it’s completely transplanted, your Dwarf Alberta Spruce should be watered again to settle the roots. For container planting, select a pot that’s about one and a half or two times your shipped container. Follow the planting directions above and place the Dwarf Alberta in an area with adequate sunlight. 2. Watering: Water weekly or more often in extreme heat, during the Spruce’s first full growing season – this will ensure that it establishes an extensive root system. The watering schedule will be the same for both container and group plants. But if you’re not sure when to water, simply check the Alberta’s soil – if it’s dry at 2 inches down, it’s time to water. 3. Fertilizing: For faster, fuller growth, fertilize your tree before new growth begins during spring. 4. Pruning: Because the Dwarf Alberta Spruce is slow-growing, it can often grow into its natural, columnar shape without any pruning. However, if you’re looking for a neater appearance, prune your tree lightly during winter.
