yellow on the outer tips followed by a solid green interior makes
this a perfect accent plant or can be used for a hedgerow. In the
fall and winter, the yellow changes to a bronzy-orange until
spring when bright yellow takes over again.

New for Year 2012
Pinus nigra ‘Frank’
Here we have another dense, as in mass not stupid, columnar
pine for that tight upright look, maturing at 10 feet and
only two feet wide. A great alternative to upright junipers.
As with any columnar pine, tying up branches in the winter
is recommended to prevent snow load damage.
