Add a rare and colorful touch to your garden or conifer collection with Picea pungens ‘Walnut Glen’, a striking cultivar of Colorado Blue Spruce known for its unique golden-blue foliage. This compact, upright evergreen brings bold contrast and all-season interest to rock gardens, borders, or even containers. With a dense pyramidal shape and soft-colored needles that range from silvery blue to golden-green depending on the season and light conditions, 'Walnut Glen' is a true conversation piece.
Key Features:
- Foliage: Blue needles tipped with gold in bright sun; soft silvery tones in shade (We find that given full sun the golden-yellow on top of the blue needles will last all year long!)
- Compact & Manageable: Smaller than standard Colorado spruce cultivars — great for urban gardens or smaller spaces
- Pruning: Rarely needed — can be lightly shaped in late winter for form. Prune out any "leaders"/upright branches for a more low-spreading habit
- Cold Hardy & Durable: Extremely tough and adaptable, thriving in cold climates and poor soils
- Low Maintenance: Once established, it requires very little care and is deer-resistant
- Plant Type: Evergreen conifer
- Sun Exposure: Full sun to light shade (best color in full sun); when young, can experience some sun scorch on the golden needles - this will become less and less as the tree ages
- Mature Size: 3 ft x 4 ft in 10 years (can be pruned for shape)
- Hardiness Zones: USDA 3-8
- Soil Preference: Prefers well-drained soil; tolerates clay and rocky soils once established
- Watering: Water regularly until established, then becomes drought-tolerant
