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
