growing 15 or more feet tall and 2 to 3 feet wide, the Gold Drift Norway Spruce is ideal for use as a focal point specimen to draw attention to an area of the landscape. A fine accent in home foundation plantings where it can be useful to frame corners of tall homes or other buildings. Excellent for decorating as an outdoor Christmas tree. A fine addition to conifer gardens, yellow theme gardens, rock gardens and Asian theme gardens.

Suggested Spacing:  Best as specimen, in small, spaced grouping, or use two to frame an entryway

Gold Drift Norway Spruce is easy to grow in a damp to moist but well-drained soil of average fertility. As with so many other conifers, constantly soggy or wet soils can be problematic; leading to root rot or other harmful plant diseases. So make sure to plant this one in well-drained soil, whether in the ground or in pots. It grows well in full sun, however the foliage of young trees may discolor some until the tree has developed a good root system. It hot climates some filtered sun or shade during the hot midafternoon hours will be appreciated. Morning to early afternoon and evening sun is okay. For best overall performance and color, 6 hours or more of direct sunlight per day is suggested. Young trees may require staking for skyward growth.
