Q: I read that Dwarf Alberta Spruce like full sun. Will one
survive that will only get some morning sun and be in shade the rest of
the day?
It would be if front of my house in a bedding area and the
garage takes out the sun fairly early in the day. I wanted something
that
had a control growth and was an evergreen.
The spruce is pretty and
stays
small. However I do not want to plant a dwarf there if it will only
die. I hate losing living things including plants.

Morning sun
should be adequate to sustain the plant, it just may be a bit sparser than
normal.
If the front of your house faces north, the sides toward the house may thin
out even more due to less sunlight.
If so, try to plant yours further from
the house to allow sunlight to "bounce" its way in. This may help keep it
fuller.
