Pinus densiflora ‘Burke’s Red Variegated’, a cultivar of the Japanese red pine, is a true gem in the world of ornamental conifers. This remarkable tree offers a captivating display of colour that evolves throughout the seasons, making it a standout feature in any garden landscape.

The most striking characteristic of ‘Burke’s Red Variegated’ is its distinctive needles. Each needle is a work of art, painted with streaks and splashes of creamy-white variegation against a backdrop of bright green. This variegation gives the tree a luminous quality, seeming to glow even on overcast days. As winter approaches, the needles take on a reddish hue, particularly at the tips, adding another layer of visual interest.

Unlike many pines that grow to towering heights, ‘Burke’s Red Variegated’ is a slow-growing, compact tree. This manageable size makes it an excellent choice for smaller gardens or as a focal point in larger landscapes. Over time, it develops a broad, somewhat irregular form that adds a touch of the wild to more formal garden designs.

The tree’s compact nature and slow growth rate also make it an ideal candidate for container growing. This versatility allows gardeners to enjoy its unique beauty on patios, balconies, or in courtyard settings where planting directly in the ground might not be possible.

As the tree matures, its bark develops an attractive reddish-brown colour with a plated texture, providing additional interest, especially in winter when the branch structure is more visible. The combination of colourful needles and textured bark makes ‘Burke’s Red Variegated’ a true four-season performer in the garden.

While primarily grown for its ornamental value, this pine also offers ecological benefits. Its dense growth provides excellent shelter for birds, and its seeds can be a food source for wildlife. In garden design, it pairs beautifully with other conifers, creating textural contrasts, or with deciduous plants that complement its changing seasonal colours.

Approx 60/80cm tall in a 10 litre pot.
