Noted for its stunning winter foliage, Pinus contorta ‘Chief Joseph’ (Shore Pine) is a dwarf evergreen conifer of irregular, upright habit. Light yellow-green in spring and summer, its needles turn brilliant gold in the fall and winter months as temperatures drop – when most color fades from the garden. Slow-growing, 6-8 in. per year (15-20 cm), it is a terrific accent specimen adding brightness to the dull winter landscape.
