Care for small P. contorta 'Chief Joseph'

14 years ago

Just found a little P. contorta 'Chief Joseph' at a nursery. I noticed the yellow color immediately, wouldn't had even noticed the plant during the summer. How does this guy look as far as ever growing into a decent looking tree shape one day?

Is shade in winter good, to keep the needles from burning? Or is some sun needed to bring out the yellow color?

Is some summer shade good? Part sun? Afternoon shade? Or full sun just to get it to put on some growth?

Thanks for any advice.
