‘Spring Sunshine’ is a new selection of white spruce from the Memorial University of Newfoundland; it was found growing along a highway near the school. Fresh spring growth emerges a brilliant yellow that stands out nicely against the older foliage. The bright yellow color lingers for weeks before eventually hardening off to the typical blue-green color of the species. With its moderate growth rate, superior hardiness, and trim pyramidal shape, ‘Spring Sunshine’ has great potential and versatility, making it well suited to almost any garden across the country. Sun. Garden size is 12'h x 8'w, so it will probably grow to at least 16'h x 10'w in time. Very hardy to Zone 2.
