Pinus Strobus Golden Candles
Golden Candles Eastern White Pine
Golden Candles Eastern White Pine (Pinus strobus ‘Golden Candles’) is most conspicuous during its spring growth. Golden shoots rise above softer gray-green needles, which may also carry occasional light yellow streaks.
The tree develops an upright, broad pyramidal framework. Its spring color works best as a visible accent within a simpler evergreen planting, with enough room for the crown to expand.
Choose a sunny position with soil that drains freely. Water during establishment and leave enough room for the branches to develop without crowding.
