Rare Dwarf Pine Tree

Introducing Pinus contorta 'Taylor's Sunburst,' also known as Taylor's Sunburst Lodgepole Pine. This distinctive evergreen conifer stands upright with a somewhat irregular form, adorned with vibrant green needles. Witness the breathtaking transformation in spring as new growth bursts forth in stunning buttery yellow, occasionally accompanied by charming tiny red first-year cones. Over a period of 10 years, expect it to reach a height of 6 ft and spread to 3 ft wide. Its slow growth rate contributes to its compact nature, while the bright yellow new growth gradually transitions to a verdant green hue throughout the summer months. Discovered by Alan Taylor amidst the rugged terrain of the Colorado Rockies, this remarkable pine is a testament to nature's artistry.
