Pinus densiflora ‘Golden Ghost’ seems to shimmer in the sun with its long slender light green needles that consistently have one or two circular yellow bands on them. When looking down at the shoot, one sees green and yellow rings surrounding a red bud. The decorative orange-red stems that are characteristic of densiflora add to the overall colorful appearance. Grows best in slightly acid well-drained soil.
