Bright golden-yellow variegation is boldly and very irregularly splashed on the deep-green foliage of this upright 15-25' pine. Each tree is completely unique in its patterning and is definitely an unusual focal point for the landscape. Creates a somewhat irregular pyramidal form; this tree likes to surprise you! S/M
