Pine / Dwarf Mugho Pine
Very tolerant of extreme conditions. Compact shape, excellent for foundation plantings. Deer resistant. (Pinus mugho Pumilio 5g)
Features:
Lustrous dark green foliage on a mounding evergreen shrub.
Companion Plants:
Friendly.
Care and Dead Heading:
Only occasional water needed once established. Full sun (6+ hours of direct sun each day). Takes well to shearing. Ideal for drought areas and very cold climates.
Planting Instructions:
Dig hole two times the width of the pot. Set top of root ball even with ground level. Combine planting mix and soil. Fill to ground level and tamp down firmly. Water to settle soil. Add layer of mulch to retain moisture and discourage weeds. Watering deeply, but infrequently, will encourage deeper root development and better drought tolerance. May need extra water in the first year as it becomes established. Cut out dead and weak stems.
