Picea mariana 'Golden' (Black Nest Spruce)

The Picea mariana 'Golden', commonly known as Black Nest Spruce, is a small evergreen conifer with a unique golden foliage. It forms a dense, compact nest-like shape, hence the name. The needles are short, stiff, and dark green during the summer, turning a golden yellow in the winter. It is a slow-growing plant that is ideal for small gardens or as a focal point in rock gardens.
