By: Forestfarm

A tall pyramidal form with golden sprays and leaves. It is light yellowish green on the underneath of the branchlets. Formerly called 'George Peabody'. (Developed before 1873 in Geneva, NY) Our form came to us via Pete's uncle, Teddy Kordus' nursery in New Jersey many years ago. One of the best yellow forms. Relatively slow grower.
