Pinus Mugho BENJAMIN
BENJAMIN Mugo Pine
Benjamin Mugo Pine develops into a low, rounded cushion. Green needles cover its compact evergreen branches.
Upright cones change from green to brown as the season advances. This small selection suits containers and rock gardens where its outline can be seen clearly.
Choose a sunny site with well-drained soil. Routine clipping is unnecessary; allow the natural branching pattern to develop.
