Picea orientalis 'Skylands', commonly known as Skylands Oriental Spruce, is a visually striking conifer that dazzles with its bright yellow foliage and elegant form. This golden variety of Oriental Spruce is prized for its vibrant color, which persists throughout the year, adding a touch of brilliance to any garden. In spring, 'Skylands' produces soft, bright yellow new growth that gradually matures to a rich golden hue, lasting through the summer and into winter. The tree also features striking purple cones that provide a stunning contrast against the yellow needles. As the plant matures, it transitions from an irregular form to a broadly conical shape, eventually becoming narrowly conical in its full maturity. Growing at a moderate rate of 6-9 inches per year, 'Skylands' reaches a height of 10-15 feet with a spread of 6-8 feet within 10 years. At full maturity, it can grow up to 35 feet tall and 12 feet wide. This spruce thrives in full sun, where its yellow color is most vibrant, but it also benefits from some shade when young to prevent foliage burn. It is best suited to cooler climates within USDA hardiness zones 4-8 and prefers well-draining soils that are kept consistently moist, especially during its early years. 'Skylands' Oriental Spruce makes an excellent specimen or accent tree, particularly in rock gardens, conifer gardens, or as a focal point in any landscape. Its brilliant yellow foliage pairs beautifully with complementary plants such as purple Siberian Iris, lungwort, hostas, and hydrangeas, creating a stunning display of color and texture. Add the radiant beauty of Picea orientalis 'Skylands' to your garden and enjoy its year-round color and graceful form for years to come.
