Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Pinus mugo 'Big Tuna' - A nice shaped and remarkably sturdy selection with a unique, dense, compact and upright habit. This hardy pine cones up very young which adds to the boldly-textured, dark green foliage. Nice for bonsai, rock gardens, and general landscapes.

By: Kigi Nursery

Boldly textured, medium length needles make this sturdy, upright, multi-stemmed tree a favorite for areas in the landscape with a little more room. The slow-growing trees become taller than wide and quite bushy. Very hardy and uniquely dense, 'Big Tuna' is compact, but not dwarf. Buds turn showy during cold winter months and stand out distinctly against dark green foliage.
