There are several types of golden variegated Norway spruce varieties. Many shine brightly in the spring, as their new growth emerges to fill us with awe. ‘Aurea Jacobsen’ is not of this mold, maintaining its color throughout the seasons, with varying intensity, for a golden display every day of the year.
Picea abies ‘Aurea Jacobsen’ also has a unique type of variegation. It is as if the sun has taken up its pallet, and gently brushed the tops of the outer needles with a warm, golden glow, leaving them to contrast with the light green foliage beneath.
Juvenile plants grow at a rate of 1”-3” per year, in a mounding form, but ‘Aurea Jacobsen’ will develop into a narrow upright tree, with mature height of 15’-20’, with a width of only 4’ in 20 years.
‘Aurea Jacobsen’, with its origins as a Norway spruce, is suitable in climates Zone 3 to 7. This climatic flexibility, the narrow, upright habit, and its incredible golden variegation, make it an outstanding selection as a focal point for any size landscape area.
