DESCRIPTION: Bold, but not gaudy, the full, upright, Picea orientalis ‘Skylands’ is an excellent choice for adding bright, year-round color to a large garden. Its fine, spiky needles emerge electric yellow in spring and gradually soften to a rich gold that stands out against the dark green, interior foliage. Trees develop slowly in the early years, but achieve a habit typical of the species in time. Best color in full sun, although protection may be warranted in scorching summer climates until established.

Available in 5 and 10 gallon pots
