Picea orientalis Aureospicata

Picea orientalis ‘Aureospicata’

Picea orientalis Aureospicata. Stunning, bright lemon-yellow spring growth creates a dramatic contrast against the mature foliage of this slow-growing, pyramidal tree. By mid-summer, the fresh yellow foliage darkens to deep, glossy green. Unlike many other non-green Picea orientalis cultivars, this beauty does not burn in full sun. 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.
