Hi,
I have a question do all JWP needles always have a medium green color with that characteristic white line or are there variants.
I have a Japanese White pine that looks like the above, but I also have another whose needles are a somewhat lighter green color almost similar to Japanese Red

ine needles and can't really see the whitish line, yet is in unmistakeably a 5 needle and I have been assured that it is indeed a JWP.
So are there variations/cultivars of JWP that have these characteristics because I am as usual a bit confused.
Thanks.....
P.S. The pine I am referring to is not a grafted white pine and is at least 25 or more years old, pretty beefy trunk, if that helps. Not sure if graft versus non graft affects that at all.
