    Maintains a low mound without shearing. Growth Rate dwarf

    Pinus mugo 'Mops' - This genuinely dwarf selection grows into a low, dense dome that stays compact without shearing. The mounding plant has a smooth appearance that comes from many evenly spaced needles growing at a uniform rate on abundant branchlets. During most of the year, 'Mops' displays a hint of gray/blue in its green, but during the crisp, cold months of winter, needles take on a warm, golden hue. It's no wonder this choice is one of our most popular for confined spaces.
