Gold Drift Norway Spruce

The Gold Drift Norway Spruce is a unique cascading specimen evergreen with lime-green needles that turn golden yellow in the sun. It grows quickly to cover an area of 10 to 12 feet across, or become a specimen 10 to 15 feet tall, within 10 years. Grow it on banks and slopes, cascading over walls or among boulders, or stake it to become a tall specimen weeping tree. It looks just as exciting and unique either way, and you get to decide, depending on your needs. Why not get two and grow it both ways?

• Lime-green needles dusted with gold
• Cascading growth forms a dense groundcover
• Can be staked up into a weeping tree
• Fast-growing, 12 inches a year
• Cold resistant and easy to grow

Full sun is needed for the Gold Drift Norway Spruce to develop its characteristic ‘gold dust’ look. It is hardy, growing in zone 3 to 4, and thrives in cooler climates with good sunshine. It grows in most soils, doing best in moist, well-drained soils but having some drought resistance once well established. Young plants may scorch a little in their early years, but this stops once they become more mature. Pests and diseases are very rare, and this vigorous, fast-growing plant is one of the most spectacular evergreens available.
