Buy Red Tip Norway Spruce online. Craving a touch of unexpected color in your spring garden? Red Tip Norway Spruce offers a fleeting but unforgettable spectacle, transforming from a classic evergreen into a vibrant display of crimson and green.
Imagine the surprise of deep red new growth emerging in spring, painting the tips of this unique spruce with a vibrant burst of color. This striking display lasts for approximately two weeks, creating a dramatic contrast against the older, green foliage. As spring progresses, the red tips gradually transition to a reddish-brown hue before finally settling into the familiar green of a classic Norway Spruce.
While Red Tip Norway Spruce eventually matures into a large tree with an open habit, it grows at a slower rate than the standard Norway Spruce, making it a more manageable option for many gardens. This captivating cultivar, originally discovered in Czechoslovakia in 1973, propagated in England, and introduced to the United States in 1981, brings a touch of international flair to any landscape.
More than just a fleeting show of color, Red Tip Norway Spruce offers year-round interest. Its unique spring display is a conversation starter, while its mature form provides a stately presence in the garden. Add a touch of unexpected beauty to your landscape with Red Tip Norway Spruce – a remarkable evergreen that celebrates the vibrant renewal of spring.
