Pinus mugo dwarf mountain pine


Pinus
Pine trees are superb trees which grow in a wide climate scale - from cold northern countries to hot coastal sites. They are probably most beautiful in their natural environment.One of the best known pines is this dwarf mountain pine which occurs naturally in mountainous regions. It often has bizarre shapes owing to constant winds blowing from one side. In gardens it forms a dense and rich shrub. It is soil tolerant but will be poor in calcareous soil. As all other pines it needs full sun. Fully hardy.
