    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    A very narrow, upright Mugo Pine, this cultivar is perfect for tight landscape spaces where a strong vertical form is appropriate. Conspicuous buds, coated with white, waxy resin, stand out against long, dark green needles in winter, and colors intensify as the seasons change. The compact columnar habit is open enough to show off interesting reddish orange bark. Plants reliably produce small ornamental cones too. Great fit for any size garden.
