Pinus mugo var. pumilio (Dwarf Mountain Pine) is a small conifer forming a dense, spreading, cushion-shaped mound of finely textured, emerald green needles. This dense multi-stemmed evergreen shrub holds its emerald green color through the winter and looks great year-round. This is an extremely slow-growing pine which adds very few inches of new growth each year. A very appealing addition for small gardens, rock gardens or foundation plantings.

• Grows up to 3-5 ft. tall (90-150 cm) and 6-10 ft. wide (180-300 cm).
• Performs best in full sun in well-drained soils. Mugo pine is not fussy about soils and grows in acidic, alkaline, loamy, moist, sandy or clay soils as long as they are well drained. It is also drought tolerant.
• Perfect for coastal gardens and rock gardens.
• Watch for aphids, adelgids, sawflies and pine shoot moth. Easy to grow, easy to care for and rarely browsed by deer.
• No pruning required.
• Native to C Europe, Balkan Peninsula.
