Chief Joseph Lodgepole Pine: Golden Winter Evergreen (1 Gallon)

The Chief Joseph Lodgepole Pine (Pinus contorta ‘Chief Joseph’) is one of the most striking and sought-after evergreens for collectors and landscape enthusiasts. This rare conifer is celebrated for its brilliant golden-yellow winter color, which stands out like a beacon in snowy or gray landscapes. During the warmer months, its needles are green, but as temperatures drop, they turn a glowing, intense gold—making this pine a true four-season showpiece.
Its naturally upright, pyramidal form stays compact, making it a perfect choice for smaller gardens, specimen plantings, or accent pieces in mixed landscapes. Extremely hardy and slow-growing, this tree combines rarity with resilience.
