Pinus parviflora Ogon Goyo

Common Name: Ogon Goyo Japanese White Pine

Description: The Ogon Goyo Japanese White Pine (Pinus parviflora 'Ogon Goyo') is a slow-growing, compact evergreen conifer renowned for its striking variegated foliage. In spring, new growth emerges with creamy-yellow needles and red buds, creating a vibrant contrast. As the season progresses, the foliage matures to a bluish-green hue, complemented by small, decorative brown cones. This cultivar responds well to pruning, allowing gardeners to shape it into desired forms, making it an excellent choice for rockeries, bonsai, or as a unique focal point in garden landscapes. It thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers moist, well-drained soils, performing well in Melbourne's climate. With minimal maintenance requirements, 'Ogon Goyo' offers year-round interest and adds a touch of elegance to any garden setting.
