Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Picea glauca 'Gold Tip' - A dwarf variety of Alberta Spruce that flushes golden tips. Leaves are golden in spring turning later to green. Grows 2" a year. Very nice plant for that small conifer garden.

By: Kigi Nursery

When most conifers have faded to a softer summer color, this dwarf Alberta spruce puts on a second flush of golden growth that brightens up the scene. The slow-growing, narrow cone gets its best color in full sun.
