Picea glauca 'Cecilia' / Cecilia white spruce

Picea glauca 'Cecilia' is a Blue, dwarf spreading selection of White spruce. Foliage is silvery-Blue and radially arranged on a flat spreading plant. After 10 years of growth, a mature specimen will measure 36 inches (90 cm) tall and wide, an annual rate of growth of 2 to 3 inches (5 - 7.5 cm).

This cultivar originated as a witch's broom found along the Skippack Highway near Philadephia, Pennsylvania in the late 1970s by Greg Williams, Wolcott, Vermont. Joel Spingarn of Baldwin, New York is credited with introducing it to the nursery trade. It is sometimes seen listed in the trade as 'Skippack.' The collector should also be aware of a cultivar listed as Picea abies 'White Cecile' which is most likely the same plant.
