Wow , ken , it sure keeps it's color a long time

would have thought it changed to green by now

nice , ron

Very nice tree! How long does it usually hold its color?

Beautiful! Mine is still a baby yet.

it holds a week or so ... depending on heat ..

some years its hot and really fast..

others its cooler.. and slower

ken

Ken - excellent specimen. Thanks for posting this. I know it was a PIA.

Do other Spring Ghost specimens hold color that short of period (directed towards other owners)? I was thinking about adding one but thats too short IMO. Picea pungens 'Gebelle's Golden Spring' seems to hold the longest of the cream/yellow/white flushing Picea pungens that I have. Close to one month for that one.

Niemetz, Spring Blast, Stilton Cheese seem to be 2-3 weeks. I'd rank them in that order as well with Niemetz being the longest duration.

Of all the hardy Picea species Picea pungens seems to looks the worst in shaded conditions. Picea orientalis the best.

btw ... i was guessing ... as to duration .. ken

Ooohh i would like to have one of those!
