The silky white buds of the species plus needles banded with yellow-white (on older trees), make this 30-50' tree from the wind-swept coasts of Korea and Japan very special for bonsai or garden. S/M

Golden variegation at the bases of each needle gives the branches a "dragon's eye" effect when viewed from above. A very colorful but large-growing pine!
