Taylor's Sunburst Lodgepole Pine
Pinus contorta 'Taylor's Sunburst'
Plant Details:
Plant Type: Evergreen Tree
Plant Family: Pinaceae
Plant Description: This Pine will give you a burst of “light” every spring as its new growth comes out a vibrant golden-yellow color. This color lasts for weeks before it fades to a lighter yellow-green and eventually becomes a classic Pine green as the foliage hardens. Spring also brings small cherry red cones. This is a cultivar of a species native to Utah.
Maintenance:
Maintenance Type: Tree - Evergreen
Plant Care: Tree - Evergreen (single-stemmed woody plants that keep their leaves during winter): Light pruning is required to maintain desired shape and to avoid branching problems such as double-leader stems. Evergreen trees can be difficult to establish. Adequate winter moisture is critical for the first 2-3 years until the roots establish. If there is a dry winter check the root ball with your finger for moisture before watering. Monitor for pests and diseases.
