Gold Coin Scotch Pine
Pinus sylvestris 'Gold Coin'
Scotch Pine
Currently unavailable
This upright evergreen conifer is known for its vibrant golden-yellow winter needles, which transition to a delicate, translucent pale green in the summer. To thrive, it requires moist, acidic, and well-drained soils under full sun. While it exhibits tolerance for various soil types, the key is good drainage. This plant prefers cooler summer climates and may not fare well in the heat and humidity of the deep South. Notably, it is generally hardy and capable of withstanding urban conditions.
