Notes
'Taylor's Sunburst' shore pine (Pinus contorta 'Taylor's Sunburst') is an evergreen tree for specimen planting, coastal gardens, and wildlife gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy or loamy soil. It grows at a rapid rate and has a broad habit, so give it room. Salt tolerance makes it a good pick near the shore. Butterflies and birds visit it.
Pairs well with Hawthorn, May Night salvia, Buffalo grass, and Gladiator ornamental onion.
