Pinus Densiflora 'Cesarini's Variegated
Cesarini's Variegated Japanese Red Pine
Cesarini’s Variegated Japanese Red Pine (Pinus densiflora ‘Cesarini’s Variegated’) carries creamy white bands across otherwise green needles. The alternating colors break up the surface of the foliage and become especially noticeable when light passes through the branches.
Its framework is broad and upright, giving the variegation room to show across a small tree. A simple background helps the patterned needles remain the focal point of the planting.
Choose a sunny position with soil that drains freely. Water during establishment and leave enough room for the branches to develop without crowding.
