Pinus parviflora du japon "goldilock"
Goyo matsu goldilock
Description
Nursery specimen imported from Japan, grown in a plastic training pot: Ø 185 mm and 150 mm high.
Tree height alone: approx. 400–550 mm.
This pine requires wiring to shape and set its branches into pads, and it can also be repotted into an unglazed bonsai pot. A specimen similar to the one shown in the photo will be shipped.
Rare variety “Goldilocks”, vigorous and very well suited to bonsai due to its short needle length. High-quality graft. Trunk Ø approx. 10–20 mm.
Concise Description of Pinus parviflora 'Goldilocks'
1. Habit and Growth
Slow-growing conifer, ideal for bonsai or small spaces.
Upright, irregular or pyramidal habit, often with several stronger branches, creating a unique silhouette.
After 10 years, it typically reaches 1.2–1.8 m high with a spread of about 1.2 m.
2. Foliage and Visual Appeal
Needles in bundles of five, typical of Pinus parviflora.
Young spring shoots are a brilliant golden yellow, contrasting with the green to blue-green base, sometimes with silvery tones.
In winter, the entire foliage may appear almost completely golden.
3. Growing Conditions
Hardiness zones: typically USDA 5–8, sometimes 3–7. In France, it withstands temperatures down to about –25 °C.

Prefers well-drained soil, tolerates poor soils, pH from acidic to slightly alkaline.
4. Ornamental Value
Year-round interest, especially in spring (golden new growth) and winter (overall golden effect).
Perfect for Japanese gardens, rock gardens, small spaces, containers or bonsai.
