Pinus contorta
A slow-growing, irregular-upright selection of Lodgepole pine (so-named for their use as structural support of native American lodges and teepees). Although there is some color variation depending on location, generally the spring and summer color is a light yellow-green but, come the fall and winter months, it turns bright yellow as temperatures drop. Come spring, it reverts to green.
