Lantern Fire is an exciting new introduction from Western Evergreen. Discovered in a seed bed of Colorado Spruce seedlings in 2007, we have been observing it ever since. Spring color is a bright, vibrant golden yellow that lasts for 8 weeks. With a compact pyramidal form, it is an improvement over other spring golden Colorado Spruce varieties on the market today. From our experience, it is very heat tolerant with only minor burning when we experienced a record 115 degrees in late June, 2021, while other spring golden varieties of Colorado Spruce suffered. Sure to turn heads each spring. Previously was known by the provisional name [Hupp golden flush].

    Picea Pungens "Lantern Fire"

    Posted by Michael on 12th Aug 2024

    I received my order after asking several times for a ship date....Western Evergreen was playing it safe with the elevated temperatures. Once received, I unpacked the shipment, watered the Picea, and next day planted the tree. The shipment was well packed, protecting the soil and top candle. There were a couple broken branches but nothing that would affect the rating. I've used Western Evergreen before and will again. I can't wait to see the new growth next spring. Thanks much!
