Taylor's Sunburst Lodgepole Pine is a hardy evergreen conifer known for its long soft needles and an open, sculptural branching habit. Taylor's Sunburst Lodgepole Pine carries dark green foliage through the season and performs best in full sun with moderate watering once established. This narrow, upright evergreen matures to roughly 20-50 feet tall and 6-13.5 feet wide. It is ideal for privacy screening, windbreaks, and year-round structure, offering year-round privacy and winter structure. Well suited to the Canadian climate in zones 2-8, it establishes readily and improves with age. A layer of mulch helps hold moisture and keeps roots cool in summer.
