Description
Pinus mugo ‘Mops’ is a slow growing dwarf mountain pine. This makes it ideal for cloud / niwaki pruning, as little maintenance is needed to keep the plant in excellent shape and condition. Bearing long needle-like leaves which are green all year round. Typically the trees we stock are around 25 years old and have been nurtured into authentic cloud trees by expert growers. These plants are fully hardy, as they have been grown in Northern Europe. They can be kept in their pots, or planted out into the garden. Pinus mugo ‘Mops’ will grow in most soil types, but for best result, the ground should be free draining. Can be grown in coastal environments and requires no watering during the winter and only a little in a very dry summer. Tolerates full sun.
