The Alberta Spruce, also known as the White Spruce was first discovered (for ornamental purposes) in 1904 near Lake Laggan in the Canadian Rockies.  This is a bonsai that must be grown outdoors and so if a good friend or perhaps your lucky spouse is a gardener already, you have the makings of a perfect garden gift idea.  You can’t ever go wrong giving a gardener an unusual plant.  This is a unique gift and you won’t find another exactly like it – or probably even close, no matter how hard you might look.

Overall this wonderful outdoor bonsai planting is 22 inches wide and on average 14 inches deep and the tallest tree in the group is 28 inches high.
