Pinus heldreichii ‘Bosnian Sunrise’ is a vibrant, compact selection of Bosnian Pine prized for its bright golden-yellow new growth that contrasts beautifully against deep green mature needles. Its dense, upright pyramidal form and strong branching create a bold focal point in the landscape.

Slow growing, it typically reaches 3-4 feet tall and 3-4 feet wide over time, maintaining a tidy, symmetrical habit with minimal pruning. Thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, and is highly tolerant of drought, heat, and poor soils once established.

Hardy in USDA Zones 4-8, ‘Bosnian Sunrise’ offers exceptional year-round color, durability, and architectural presence for specimen plantings and conifer gardens.
