Pinus mugo 'Slowmound' is a compact and low-growing evergreen tree with dense, dark green needles. It is ideal for rock gardens, borders, and small spaces.

Caring for Pinus mugo, commonly known as Mugo Pine or Mountain Pine, involves providing it with the right growing conditions and regular maintenance. This evergreen shrub thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-draining soil. Plant it in a location with good air circulation to prevent fungal diseases. Mugo Pine is relatively drought-tolerant once established, but it benefits from regular watering during dry spells. Mulching around the base of the plant helps retain moisture and suppress weeds. Prune the shrub in late winter or early spring to maintain its shape and remove any dead or unwanted branches. Mugo Pine is generally resistant to pests and diseases but monitor for any signs of trouble. With proper care, your Pinus mugo will provide you with dense, dark green foliage and add a touch of elegance to your garden or landscape. It is also commonly used in bonsai cultivation.
