Pinus Mugo Jacobsen

Jacobsen Mugo Pine

Pinus mugo ‘Jakobsen’
Jakobsen Mugo Pine has dark green needles arranged around a conspicuous trunk and branch framework. The naturally uneven structure can give a young plant the character of an older, carefully trained specimen.

Its slow, spreading growth suits a prominent position among rocks or low groundcovers. Leave the branching visible to make the most of its sculptural form.

Plant in full sun with well-drained soil. Water the root zone during establishment and leave room for the branches to develop. A site with cool summers generally suits this pine better than prolonged hot, humid conditions.

Approximate garden size
• Width: 6 ft; larger with age
• Height: 4 ft; larger with age
These are planning estimates for an established garden plant, commonly reached in 10–25 years, rather than final mature limits.

Hardiness
• Hardy to USDA Zone 2; local summer conditions also affect suitability.

Best Uses
• Rock Garden
• Specimen
• Accent Plant
