About Mugo Pine
āShort, stout, and round aboutā goes a long way in describing the wonderfully small and adaptable Mugo Pine (Pinus mugo). This tree is a dream for landscapers working in small spaces or for ācontainer gardeners.ā The smallest of the European Pines, Mugo Pine is also known as āDwarf Pineā and āKnee Pineā in a nod to its typically small size. The tallest Mugo Pine is only 24 feet tall, but that is exceptional ā normally, these trees remain well under six feet tall.
A slow grower that remains charmingly tiny for decades, Mugo Pine is perfect for small yards, gardens, and container growing on decks. It can add a splendid evergreen texture to small areas in a wide variety of climates. This Pine is from the Eastern Alps and Balkan States and the mountains of Spain and Central Europe. It has dark green, linear needles and a stout, symmetrical, very dense and pleasing form.
Mugo Pines are fantastic for small gardens or yards, along walkways, and ideal in containers as a wonderful patio or deck tree with a European flair. Extremely hardy in all but the hottest desert climates, Mugo Pine is a great tree choice when bigger is not better!

Seedling Size Chart: Medium
Due to the dynamic nature of actively growing trees, as well as the tremendous variation between speciesā growth rates, we rely on the cubic volume of a seedlingās root mass to determine its āsizeā (Small / Medium / Large / XL). Within each size there is minor variance ā the dimensions provided here represent the category minimum. If exact measurements are essential, please contact us about current stock.
