Picea abies 'Typner' is a miniature, pyramidal selection of Norway spruce with dense branching and very short, finely textured, medium green needles. After 10 years, a mature specimen will only measure around 10 inches (25 cm) tall and 6 inches (15 cm) wide, an annual growth rate of less than 1 inch (2.5 cm). 'Typner' is one of the slowest growing plants in this species. Brent Markus, owner of Conifer Kingdom Nursery, Silverton, Oregon calls it, "tiny and delightful!"
This cultivar originated as a witch's broom found in the early 2000s by AntonÃn Papeо in the Czech Republic.
