Pinus strobus Louie

Pinus strobus ‘Louie’ is a standout cultivar of eastern white pine prized for its vivid golden foliage and strong ornamental presence. This slow-growing pine forms an upright to broadly conical habit with long, soft needles that emerge bright chartreuse and mature to rich golden-yellow, especially intense in full sun. Over time, it typically reaches 15–25 feet tall and wide. ‘Louie’ performs best in full sun with well-drained soil and adapts well once established. Its glowing color, classic white pine texture, and specimen-scale presence make it an exceptional focal point in landscapes seeking bold evergreen color.
