Picea abies ‘Aurea Magnifica’

Picea abies 'Aurea Magnifica' is a slow-growing, pyramidal bush- or tree-form of Norway spruce with dense branching and bright, golden-yellow needles that assume an orange cast in winter in colder climates. After 10 years of growth, a mature specimen will measure 5.5 feet (1.8 m) tall and 32 inches (0.8 m) wide, an annual growth rate of 6 to 8 inches (15 - 20 cm).

This cultivar originated as a seedling selected and introduced to the nursery trade around 1900 by Ottolander and Hooftman Nursery, Boskoop, The Netherlands.
