Dwarf Conifers

Dwarf conifers & dwarf evergreen trees grow considerably slower than the species ordinarily do. Many of these varieties are found as slow-growing seedling mutations or as witch’s broom mutations. Witch’s brooms are spontaneous genetic bud mutations that cause a particular branch to grow more slowly than the rest of the tree. These genetic anomalies can be propagated by grafting as are many conifer cultivars. Most of the varieties in this category grow less than 6 inches per year, meaning that after 10 years, you could expect a plant that is around 3-4 feet tall on average. On each product page, a full description as well as additional growth information is provided.

DWARF EVERGREEN CONIFER LANDSCAPE USES

Conifers with a dwarf growth rate are the most desirable for urban landscapes or small residential gardens. Their slow rate of growth keeps them from outgrowing their space while still allowing them to achieve a substantial size in a relatively short period of time.

If you are looking for a slow-growing, hardy plant with year-round interest, dwarf evergreens that will not quickly outgrow its space is the perfect solution.
