Use in landscaping projects
Mugo pine on stem is a decorative conifer grafted onto a straight trunk, with a compact, rounded crown. It is ideal for small gardens, front yards, entrances, terraces and green roofs, as well as large containers. It is used as an accent in Japanese gardens, rock gardens and modern minimalist landscaping.
Planting and spacing
Plant in sunny sites in well-drained soils; it also tolerates poor or calcareous soils. In containers, use a free-draining substrate. After planting, support the stem with a stake for the first years.
Care and maintenance
To keep the crown compact, shorten the new shoots (the so-called 'candles') by a third to a half in spring. It is very frost- and drought-hardy, needing watering only in the first years and in containers.
