Spruce - Gold Tipped Oriental

Gold Tipped Oriental Spruce

Picea orientalis ‘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, selected P.o. ‘Aureospicata’ in 2006.
