    This spectacular semi-dwarf (to 4-8't x 3-4'w) has light-green needles in winter which turn bright-yellow with green margins spring through fall; very tolerant of heat, cold and sun, it?s an eye-catching focal point! S/M

    A somewhat compact tree with brilliant golden-yellow variegation. A popular selection that really shows off its colors especially in the winter. Similar to 'Burke's Red Variegated' and 'Cesarini's Variegated'.

    Pinus densiflora 'Golden Ghost' is a great focal point semi-dwarf Pine. In the winter, its needles are light green, and then turn bright yellow with green margins in the spring. Sustaining its beauty, it holds this brilliant color throughout the fall months. The "Variegated Japanese Red Pine" grows well in very hot or cold climates, and will not burn, thus increasing its desirability in a wide range of markets. It is an excellent choice and grows six feet high by four feet wide in ten years.
