Garden Goods Direct | Dwarf Mugo Pine

Dwarf Mugo Pine is a slow-growing compact shrubby pine that adds a unique look and texture to the landscape. A great alternative to Junipers, its dense branches are packed with dark green needles. At maturity, Mugo pines can reach to between 3 to 5 feet tall. However, they are very slow growing, and most will not get that height for many years. They grow natively in the mountains of Central Europe, where they can be seen hugging the ground, which may be their natural protection from the high winds and snow. Mugo Pines is also known as creeping pine, dwarf mountain pine, scrub mountain pine, or Swiss mountain pine.
