Mugo pine refers to smaller, dwarf varieties of Mugo pine, also known as Swiss mountain pine, with dark green needles and dense branches. These shorter shrubs grow in colder and more mild areas, preferring full sun and moist, well-drained soils.
These pines have a good tolerance for urban environments. Here are the main requirements for growing a dwarf Mugo pine:
- Choose a spot with full sun, ideally with six or more hours a day.
- Prepare well-draining soil that will not stay wet for long after watering or rainfall.
- Water somewhat regularly until the plant is established; at which point, it will only need supplemental watering during periods of drought.
- Fertilize once a year by adding some compost or a similar amendment to the soil.
