Pinus mugo 'Pudgy'
Common name:
Pudgy mugo pine, Pudgy Swiss mountain pine
Family:
Pinaceae (pine family)
Distribution:
Species native to Europe
Hardiness:
USDA Zone 3
Life form:
Evergreen shrub
Comments:
The name says it all. This pudgy-growing evergreen shrub will possibly reach 3' tall by 5' wide. Grows only 2-4" per year. Fine, dark green winter color. Needles are 1-2" long, in bundles of two and twisted. A superior choice for the conifer garden. Subject to pine needle scale and sawfly damage, but otherwise quite adaptable to urban conditions.
