Skylands Golden Oriental Spruce, Picea Orientalis Conifer Tree - Live Plant

Bring year-round color and striking elegance to your landscape with Picea orientalis ‘Skylands’, one of the most eye-catching golden conifers available. This slow-growing evergreen is prized for its brilliant spring display, when fresh new growth emerges in a vivid golden-yellow hue that seems to glow in the garden. This luminous color lasts for several months, creating a standout focal point in borders, foundation plantings, and specimen gardens. As the season progresses, the soft needles mature to a rich, deep green, providing beautiful contrast and maintaining visual interest throughout the year. In spring, ‘Skylands’ also produces small, cherry-red pollen cones that enhance its ornamental appeal and add another layer of seasonal color. With its naturally pyramidal shape and dense branching habit, Skylands Oriental Spruce requires minimal pruning and fits well into both formal and informal landscapes. Its moderate size makes it ideal for smaller yards while still offering the presence of a classic evergreen tree.
