'Chief Joseph' is a coniferous, evergreen, dwarf tree. This variety of the Lodgepole Pine was discovered by Doug Will in the Wallowa Mountains of Eastern Oregon, and named after the famous Nez Pierce Indian leader, Chief Joseph. Most of the year, the needles are colored light green, but in the winter, they turn to a spectacular, shocking gold! Must have very well drained soil. Will shed some needles through the summer, which is typical of many pines. We get these pines directly from the discoverer, right here in Eastern Oregon. We've just received a new shipment
