Picea abies 'Pitt Cemetery' / Pitt Cemetery Norway spruce

Picea abies 'Pitt Cemetery' is a dwarf globose selection of Norway spruce with symmetrical, somewhat layered branching and species-typical medium green needles. After 10 years of growth, a mature specimen will measure 3 feet (1 m) tall and wide, an annual growth rate of 3 to 4 inches (7.5 - 10 cm).

This cultivar originated as a witch's broom found in the 1990s by Joe Stupka of Pulaski, Pennsylvania at Pitt Cemetery, Youngville, Ohio, USA. In his field notes, Stupka described the broom as "flat growing."
