A compact bun to globose form with very small green needles. Also known as 'Tiny.'
Pinus mugo 'Teeny' - This miniature mugo sports tiny, uniformly straight, rich green needles, a very neat habit and extremely slow growth. Needles are held radially, spreading out from the center on each of many, short, well-clothed branches. Terminal buds are very showy, and the tight globose plant will not outgrow even the smallest garden space. Must have for Bonsai Masters!
