Tannenbaum Mugo Pine

A Refined Pine Perfect for the Laid-Back Homeowner

The Tannenbaum Mugo Pine is a dwarf conifer known for its beautiful coloring and shape. Like a Christmas tree, it has a pyramidal shape that is much tidier than other pines. The refined dark green foliage has a fine texture and tight needle formation, holding its color year-round.

Few trees and shrubs can boast being as low-maintenance and hardy as the Tannenbaum Mugo Pine. It can handle all kinds of environmental conditions, including drought, shade, heavy snow loads, and high altitudes. The shrub is also disease and pest-resistant, making it easy to let the plant flourish all on its own.

Use the Tannenbaum Mugo Pine as an accent, for mass plantings as a backdrop, or as a hedge or screen tree. As a small evergreen tree, it can work in smaller landscapes. It’s highly tolerant of environmental salt and urban pollution, so it can even thrive as a street tree.

Planting & Care

1. Planting:  When planting, consider the future spread of the plant (up to 12 ft. wide and 12-15 ft. tall). The Tannenbaum Mugo Pine fills out to the ground, so no filler plants are required.

Plant your tree in an area that receives full to partial sunlight. Because it is drought tolerant, it needs well-draining soil.

Dig a hole twice the size of the pine’s root ball. Place the pine in the hole, holding the trunk straight while you backfill the soil. Add a layer of mulch over top to help conserve moisture.

2. Watering: This pine has low water needs. Water in the first year. Once established, no supplemental watering is required.

3. Pruning: When pruning is necessary, only trim new growth from the current season if possible. Prune dead or diseased branches as needed.

4. Fertilizing: When young, fertilize in the spring with a slow-release fertilizer formulated for evergreens.
