Wintergold White Fir Tree

Golden winter color with year-round structure

Wintergold white fir brings changing color and a tidy, pyramidal shape to the landscape. Its soft needles are light green through the growing season, then develop rich golden-yellow tones as temperatures cool, providing welcome color in winter.

This slow-growing evergreen works well as a specimen, in a conifer border, or as a year-round accent near an entry. It performs best in sunny locations with well-drained soil and adds dependable structure without demanding frequent pruning.

Planting & Care

1. Planting: Plant or repot within 4 weeks of arrival. Remove the stake and ties at planting, as these are only for shipping. Choose a site with full sun and moist, well-drained soil. Dig a hole as deep as the root ball and about twice as wide, keeping the root flare level with the surrounding ground.

2. Watering: Water deeply after planting and regularly during the first growing season. Once established, water during extended dry periods, allowing the soil surface to dry slightly between waterings. Avoid soggy conditions.

3. Pruning: Little pruning is needed. Remove dead, damaged, or crossing branches in late winter or early spring, and preserve the central leader to maintain the tree’s natural form.

4. Fertilizing: Apply a balanced, slow-release evergreen fertilizer in early spring if growth is weak or soil is poor. Avoid heavy feeding, which can encourage soft, less resilient growth.
