Description
Spruce Skyland's Oriental is a stunning ornamental evergreen that delivers a brilliant splash of golden-yellow foliage year-round. This refined, upright tree stands out with its soft-textured needles, which emerge a fresh, bright gold in spring before deepening to a rich yellow-green through the seasons. The contrast against its dark reddish-brown cones creates a magnificent statement in any landscape. With its tidy, pyramidal form and slow growth habit, this spruce is perfect as a focal point, in mixed plantings, or as an elegant addition to foundation plantings. It offers a polished and eye-catching presence with minimal maintenance.

General Care

  • Sunlight: Prefers full sun
  • Watering: Water regularly after planting to establish strong roots and vibrant foliage; once established, requires little supplemental watering except in prolonged dry periods
  • Mulching: Apply a 2–3 inch layer of mulch to help retain moisture and regulate soil temperature
  • Pruning: Minimal pruning is required; remove dead or damaged branches in late winter if needed
  • Winter Protection: Young trees benefit from protection against harsh winter winds to prevent needle scorch in exposed locations

With its radiant golden foliage, satisfying texture, and refined structure, Spruce Skyland’s Oriental is a showstopping addition to the landscape, offering year-round interest and a grand architectural presence.
