Mitsch Mini Dwarf Mugo Pine - Pinus mugo 'Mitsch Mini'

Perfect for the miniature garden. Extremely slow-growing and dense, this tiny, bun-shaped, TRUdwarf® conifer sports so many short branchlets and so many slightly twisted, short needles that the surface of the plant seems to be smooth, reminiscent of a mound of moss. Selected by John Mitsch of Aurora, Oregon, it takes on a frosted look when buds emerge and deserves a prime location in the rock garden or trough. perfect for containers – they don't mind their roots being a little crowded great bonsai subject some slow down the growth rate by pinching off the candles (the buds) in the spring but not every year and some slow down the growth rate by shearing it in mid winter, before the new buds develop NOTE both of these methods will permanently reshape the tree WWJD? I leave them to grow naturally to develop into a miniature tree by themselves Globe shaped 1" to 2" per year Hardy to -40F or zones 3 thru 7 Heat Zones 7-1 full sun with good drainage Pot is 4" in diameter An outdoor plant A pretty mugo Questions?
