“FOR 2027” ‘Aurea’ Oriental Spruce (3-gallon)

‘Aurea’ Oriental Spruce
picea orientalis aurea

Stunning, golden-yellow new growth is produced in the spring. The colour comes out when the sun hits the needles. Shadier locations will dampen the colours.

While similar in structure, appearance and performance to Picea orientalis ‘Aureospicata,’ this plant will retain a hint of yellow in the foliage thoughout the year, while ‘Aurospicata’ will fully darken to deep green in color.

This cultivar was introduced in 1873 by P. Smith, Bergedorf Germany.

USDA zone 4
