Mops mugo pine is a dwarf evergreen shrub. It is grown for its dark green color, mounding shape, and slow growth rate. It grows about 2-4 inches per year.
It's a good choice where a small, slow-growing evergreen is desired.
Mops mugo pine has been an excellent plant at the Xeriscape Demonstration Garden. It has a uniform shape and attractive dark green color. It puts on more new growth when there is a wet spring compared to dry years.
No maintenance needed under normal conditions. As plant get older, remove one-half of new growth as candles expand to keep plants small, if desired. If a plant has outgrown its spot, it's also an option to simply replace an older plant with a younger one.
