...I must add that my photo was too large to upload here, but I just figured out the image link below - sorry & thanks for your help!

(PS - I saw it at Avon Perennial Gardens in Indianapolis...the employee knew nothing about it, but the common name listed on the sign is "Yellow Green Monarch," if that helps).

Here is a link that might be useful: {{gwi:331740}}

Maybe a dwarf form of Sciadopitys verticillata? Here is one with yellowish foliage, 'Yellow Dream'.

P.S. If you google 'Yellow Green Monarch', you get hits for a daylily by that name. It looks like there is daylily foliage next to your pine, so perhaps the tag goes with the daylily.

Well I can see why you have been hot for this pine. And while the name may appear apt the kind of sign used is liable to end up in front of the wrong plant as suggested. A maintenance worker may have caught it on their shoe and pulled it out from in front of the daylily, then stuck it back in the ground in front of the pine. Or another garden visitor may have moved it to the wrong plant.

Really need to ask at the garden about this plant. Could be something in commercial circulation, that they bought, or could be the only one known, a mutant seedling that they spotted and kept or someone they knew found and gave to them. If the plant shown was grafted that would imply there was more than one specimen.

That's probably what it is. Looks like a dwarf P. strobus with yellow leaves. Doesn't look like a Sciadopitys, those have thick needles near ends of shoots only. The needles are thick because each needle is really two needles joined together. You can actually start at their tips and pull them apart with your fingers.
