The Gardener's Notepad
New growth in Spring is brilliant gold, which contrasts nicely against a dark green interior. Needs some sun protection, as it will burn it bright light. Morning sun for 3 hours or so, followed by filtered light, is ideal. And as always, best needle color is had after it is well established.
