Will, thanks a lot for these comparison pics of this cultivar.
Even in partly shade it still have a lemon colour on it's new growth.

I agree with you, when established it won't give any troubles in a whole day sunny location.

Very nice specimens, Will!
It's definitely in my top 10 favorite conifers. The dwarf growth and 3-color effect produced by the blue and green needles with the golden color on top is very ornamental and attractive.

Hope you aren't running out of room yet!

I love this one, too. Will I have a feeling that you can put more cultivars in full sun than I can...here in Northern California (unless coastal) we can't count on much cloud cover in summer and no rain at all...I put mine where it gets some protection from afternoon sun. When I've gone to England I am astounded at the things that they grow in full sun that would fry here!

Same here for top 10. I have one in full sun that doesn't look all that great. The one below is in part shade and looks much better.

I moved in spring and seems to be coming along nicely even with the camera phone quality.

Mine grows real tight. Looks like the growth rate on whaas's.

Picea omorika 'Peve Tijn'
doesn't see a breath of shade, ever; growing in Illinois.
