Description
Picea glauca Jalako Gold is a variety of small and slow-growing spruce that is interesting for its very compact rounded habit and its young shoots of a creamy yellow that contrast pleasantly with the older foliage. It is original and will bring a very personal touch to a small garden when planted in isolation, and enliven a rock garden or a container on the terrace. This conifer is easy to grow in ordinary, well-drained soil, in full sun or partial shade.
Picea glauca, also known as Norway Spruce or Red Spruce, is an evergreen conifer belonging to the pine family, native to northern Europe, specifically Scandinavia. In its natural environment, it has a typically conical and pyramidal habit, and can reach a height of 30m (98 ft 5 in) or more in Eastern Europe. This species is traditionally used as a Christmas tree in Europe. It prefers well-drained and cool soils and does not mind very low temperatures.
The 'Jalako Gold' variety, derived from this species, is a dwarf form with a very dense rounded habit. It eventually forms a beautiful cushion of about 80cm (31.5 in) in all directions in average climates. Its growth is slow. It develops short and stiff branches, arranged spirally on the tight branches. Its young spring shoots are very pale yellow, then turn green, with the oldest needles being green-grey-blue. Its small evergreen leaves are very sharp, rigid needles, arranged all around the branches, in a brush-like fashion. The root system of spruces is shallow and spreading, which makes them difficult to transplant when they are mature and particularly sensitive to wind.
The 'Jalako Gold' dwarf spruce is a plant that will look good on a lawn or in a rock garden. As it adapts well to container cultivation, it can also adorn the terrace. This variety goes well with large stones, geometric lines, and brickwork. It can also be associated with columnar, prostrate, or erect dwarf conifers. The architectural qualities of conifers naturally impose themselves in contemporary settings, where shapes, silhouettes, and textures are played with. These plants provide lasting structure to a flowerbed, mark pathways, and border the terrace. They go well with ground cover plants such as aubrietas, ceraistes and heathers, as well as perennials such as Ophiopogons and Liriopes. The key is to play with volumes and colours.

Planting and care
Picea glauca 'Jalako Gold' should be planted from September to November and from February to June in deep, well-drained, light, not too chalky, moist, soil. A sandy or rocky soil that is not too dry will be perfect. Choose a very sunny or semi-shaded spot, sheltered from prevailing winds. Soak the root ball well before planting. Add organic fertilizer during planting and water generously in the first few years, and during prolonged drought. Apply a special conifer fertilizer every year in April and weed the soil in summer. This extremely hardy conifer dislikes heavy soils that are waterlogged in winter. Pruning is not necessary as this plant expresses its full potential when allowed to grow freely.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
