Dwarf Alberta spruce.
It is propagated from an abnormality of white spruce.

Def dwarf spruce. I kinda like em but the can be a nuisance, mostly because they get planted in bad spots often where I live. I guess people hear dwarf and think it will never grow or something.
I've also seen some where a certain branch will revert to the normal tree form and grow out of the main plant like a weird defect. Looks kinda cool imo.

Interesting enough, my app kept telling me white spruce. Thank you for your response!
yeah, most don’t have enough room. They get in beds close to the house and start to infringe on the structure. I’m pretty sure they cannot be trimmed back as all the foliage is exterior on the ones I’ve seen.

Thanks, good to know. I’ll keep an eye out as I rip a couple out of the planter beds.

easiest shrub to rip out....most come out even easier than boxwood.

Do you happen to know if there is a technical term for these types of occurrences? I know I've seen it in other plants but can't think of any examples off the top of my head... besides honey locust.

This article calls them reversions.
Reverting Back to "Normal"
Have you noticed any variegated plants or dwarf conifers exhibiting unusual growth? A reversion may be the cause...read more to find out what to do when plants revert back to "normal".
Has some interesting stuff in it on the origin of albertus spruce and why it’s unstable and often reverts.
