Synonyms
Pinus mugo 'Yellow Point'
Shrubs Conifers
A dwarf, slow-growing, evergreen conifer, which unlike the typical species, produces an upright, conical to oval shaped bush, with dense, spreading branches up to 1.5m (5ft) high and 60-90cm (2-3ft) across. The mid-green needles are produced in pairs, up to 6cm (2½in) long and tipped with yellow. They are slightly curved or spiral in shape, rather than straight, producing a ruffled texture en masse. The greysih-brown cones are up to 6cm (2½in) long and egg-shaped. It is an ideal choice for a small city, or courtyard garden, where an architectural or evergreen focal point is needed; for container growing, or for inclusion in the rockery
