Scientific name: Pinus mugo
Pronunciation: PIE-nus MEW-go
Characteristics: Height: 15 to 25 feet
Spread: 15 to 25 feet
Light requirement: full sun, partial sun or partial shade
Flower color: yellow
Leaf type and persistence: fragrant, evergreen, needled evergreen
Landscape use: Trees best recover from transplanting when moved balled and burlapped, not bare-root. It performs remarkably well on soils with a high pH and is fairly well adapted to urban sites. Plant size and density can be controlled by pinching the elongating candles just before or as the needles begin emerging but this is usually not needed on Mugo Pine since growth is very dense. Pines are deep rooted except on shallow, poorly-drained soil where there will be only shallow roots.
