Eastern White Pine
Pinus strobus ‘Louie’
Not everything that glitters is gold, but ‘Louie’ Eastern White Pine sure is. Adorned with golden needles all year round, ‘Louie’ is certainly one of the most lavish Eastern White Pines. The finely textured needles shimmer in the sunlight, and turn a soft green in the fall, keeping the tips bright gold. With its upright, pyramidal form, this luminous native conifer is a must have! Prune this tree to be dense and compact, or allow it to grow freely in a loose, but upright form.
