Pinus densiflora 'Oculis-draconis'

Dragon's Eye Pine

Dragon's Eye Pine is a cultivar of the Japanese Red Pine. The common name results from the two yellow bands that mark the otherwise green needles. This banding is said to give the illusion of a dragon's eye when you look at it closely. The yellow banding becomes prominent on new needles by summer and provides a unique appearance to this pine. Great specimen tree with slow growth, twisted habit and orange-red bark.
