Picea breweriana 'Früshlingsgold' is a moderately slow-growing, broadly pyramidal, upright selection of Brewer spruce that is species-typical in all aspects with the exception of a few weeks in the early spring. The new growth in spring is creamy yellow in color, darkening to emerald green over the summer. After 10 years of growth, a mature specimen will measure 4.5 feet (1.5 m) tall and 28 inches (70 cm) wide, an annual growth rate of around 6 inches (15 cm).
This fine cultivar's origin is officially unknown, having simultaneously appeared on several growers' product lists in the late-1990s/early 2000s. Based on its cultivar name, meaning "spring gold" in the German language, that's its likely country of origin.
