Pinus parviflora Ogon janome

Ogon Janome Japanese White Pine

Pinus parviflora ‘Ogon Janome’
Ogon Janome Japanese White Pine has yellow bands across its green needles. The repeated bands create a patterned effect around the shoots and distinguish it from uniformly green or blue selections.

It develops an upright, broadening crown. Position it where the variegation can be seen clearly, with adequate space for continued growth.

Plant in sun or light shade with well-drained soil. Water the root zone during establishment and leave room for the branches to develop. A site with cool summers generally suits this pine better than prolonged hot, humid conditions.

Approximate garden size
• Width: 8 ft; larger with age
• Height: 10 ft; larger with age
These are planning estimates for an established garden plant, commonly reached in 10–25 years, rather than final mature limits.

Hardiness
• Hardy to USDA Zone 5; local summer conditions also affect suitability.
