Aureospicata Oriental Spruce

Aureospicata’ provides an explosion of brilliant, yellow spring growth creating fantastic contrast against the mature, short, dark green needles of this spruce until mid-summer. The tall, stately tree grows slowly into a broad, pyramidal form, with a full skirt of lower branches that arch gracefully out and down. Use this dramatic spruce as a specimen or as a focal point in urban or suburban landscapes where it will have space to develop. The northwest based plant awards program Great Plant Picks ‘Aureospicata’ in 2006.
