Picea abies 'Arnold Dwarf' is a dwarf, conical selection of Norway spruce with dense symmetrical branches and medium green foliage. With age, the branches will open up and become more open, leaving it less special than when younger. After 10 years of growth, a mature specimen will measure 2 feet (60 cm) tall and 18 inches (40 cm) wide, an annual growth rate of 3 to 3 inches (5 - 7.5 cm).
This cultivar originated as a seedling selected in the 1960s by Arnold Arboretum at Harvard University, Boston, Massachusetts.
