Picea abies 'Goblin' is a compact slow growing selection of Norway spruce with stiff, dense branching holding thin, bright-green needles. After 10 years of growth, a mature specimen will measure 3 feet (1 m) tall and 28 inches (70 cm) wide, an average growth rate of 3 to 4 inches (7.5 - 10 cm).
This cultivar originated as a witch's broom found in the mid-1980s by Herman Geers of Boskoop, The Netherlands.
