Abies pinsapo ‘Aurea’

Abies pinsapo ‘Aurea’ originated as a golden selection of Spanish fir, chosen for its vibrant new growth and dense, symmetrical habit. This cultivar combines the rugged durability and drought tolerance of the species with a bright, ornamental character that stands out in the landscape. It grows at a moderate rate, typically adding 5–7″ per year, developing a compact, broadly pyramidal tree with stout, evenly spaced branches. The short, radially arranged needles emerge brilliant yellow in spring, gradually softening to golden-green while maintaining their warm glow, creating a striking, sunlit effect throughout the seasons.
