In spring, the short needles emerge a brilliant lemon-yellow, showing off silvery-white undersides that give the plant an almost glowing appearance. As the season progresses, the foliage gradually softens to a more yellow-green shade. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eYoung plants tend to form a broad, rounded or somewhat globe-shaped habit, eventually developing a central leader and becoming broadly upright to pyramidal with age. Its slow growth makes it an excellent choice for collectors who appreciate unusual conifers and want a plant that will develop character over many years. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAdding even more interest are the upright cones, which emerge in shades of blue-purple to purple and provide a spectacular contrast against the golden foliage. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e'Aurea' is an excellent specimen for a conifer garden, rock garden, mixed border, Japanese-inspired landscape, or collector's garden. Its relatively slow growth also makes it an interesting candidate for container culture while young.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003ePlant Type:\u003c\/em\u003e Evergreen conifer\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003eSun Exposure:\u003c\/em\u003e Full sun to part shade\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003eMature Size:\u003c\/em\u003e 5-6 ft tall x 2-3 ft wide on 10 years\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003eHardiness Zones:\u003c\/em\u003e USDA 5-8\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003eSoil Preference:\u003c\/em\u003e Well-draining\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003eWatering:\u003c\/em\u003e Moderate; drought tolerant once established \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease Note: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e**Each plant is unique and may vary slightly in size, color, or shape from the photos shown.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e**All photos are representative of each plant's typical growth habit, color, \u0026amp; features and may not depict the exact crop available at time of purchase\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e**All trees are GRAFTED (unless otherwise noted in listing title)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Flying Dragon Nursery","offers":[{"title":"3 gallon","offer_id":48318468817114,"sku":null,"price":149.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3708\/5402\/files\/abies-koreana-aurea-golden-korean-fir-10.jpg?v=1786387067","url":"https:\/\/flyingdragonnursery.com\/products\/aurea-golden-korean-fir-rare-dwarf-abies-koreana-conifer-live-plant","provider":"Flying Dragon Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
