Dragon's Eye Japanese Red Pine Dragon's Eye Japanese Red Pine

Genus - Pinus, Species - densiflora "Oculus Draconis"

Bicolor yellow and green needles make this tree sparkle in the sunlight. The color variation is brighter in cold winter climates. The shape of the tree is nothing special, it develops into an irregular, open shape. This is a tree that is more striking when viewed close up. It takes well to shearing and if candled, the dragon's eye is accentuated. Matures to about 10 or 15 feet by 8 to 10 feet. Zone 3 to 7.
