Pinus Mugo Oregon Jade

Oregon Jade Swiss Mountain Pine

Oregon Jade Mugo Pine (Pinus mugo ‘Oregon Jade’) forms a dense, rounded dwarf with short dark green needles. The close texture gives the plant a solid appearance, much like a small green cushion within the bed.

Its balanced height and width make it useful as a repeated accent or a single low focal point. The evergreen foliage supplies continuity when surrounding perennials are dormant.

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