Picea glauca ‘Humpty Dumpty’

Picea glauca 'Humpty Dumpty' is an extremely dense plant and is short and plump like Humpty Dumpty himself. Well named for it's egg-like form; as wide at the base as it is tall. (Actually, it looks more like the conical Hersey's Kisses branded chocolate candy.)

Introduced by Iseli Nursery, Boring, OR. This plant was found as a witch's broom on a dwarf Alberta spruce at the Nursery.
