Pinus Mugho Teeny

Dwarf Mountain Pine

Teeny Mugo Pine (Pinus mugo ‘Teeny’) forms a tiny, densely branched globe that is slightly flattened on top. Its short deep green needles suit the scale of the plant and keep the surface finely textured.

This miniature pine belongs where it can be seen close at hand. Stones, low planting partners, or the edge of a conifer collection help show its proportions without hiding it behind faster-growing neighbors.

Choose a sunny position with soil that drains freely. Water during establishment and leave enough room for the branches to develop without crowding.
