Variety description
10 August 2026
The plant is a fast-growing tree with a dense, compact, pyramidal crown shape. The height of an adult plant is from 3 to 11 meters with a width of 3–5 meters. The bark is reddish-brown in hue, peeling with age.
The needles have a yellow-green color with burgundy specks in spring, turn bright yellow in summer, and acquire an amber-orange hue in autumn. The variety is distinguished by high resistance to sunscald. Winter hardiness corresponds to USDA zone 5.
The tree prefers moist, rich, well-drained soils. The crop is resistant to diseases and pests, while requiring regular watering to prevent soil desiccation during the summer period.
