Pinus densiflora “Draconis”, otherwise known as Dragon’s Eye Pine, is a wonderful specimen to enjoy in the Pinetum on the Medford Campus. This specimen offers a number of distinctions: on a sunny day, the brilliant lime-green color is amazing, and the banding of green and yellow needles is said to resemble a dragon’s eye. The exfoliating bark adds yet another texture for us to appreciate.
