Pinus Sylvestris Gold Medal

Gold Medal Scot's Pine

Gold Medal Scots Pine changes color with the seasons. Its needles are greener in summer and become a much richer gold during winter.

This slow-growing evergreen forms a compact cone. It makes a useful winter accent among shrubs or in a large rock garden.

Choose a sunny site with well-drained soil. Routine clipping is unnecessary; allow the natural branching pattern to develop.
