Mugo pine in bonsai

This is a variety of pine that deserves more attention than the Asian varieties. It grows naturally in mountainous and rocky areas, but also thrives on the plains and in pots! It is slow-growing, but we have been growing it for a very long time at our nursery. It produces small, attractive green needles and easily regrows at the back to form attractive trays.

  • Family: Pinaceae
  • Origin: Central and southern Europe
  • Deep green needles grouped in pairs
  • Plant from seedling, grown in the garden and then in pots.

Cultivation Advice

In its natural environment, it is a mountainside tree exposed to cold, wind and sun. So you have to leave it outside all year round and it doesn't require any special protection.

It should be controlled and moderated. Let the root ball dry out a little between waterings to avoid excess moisture. Protect mugo pine during periods of prolonged rainfall to prevent the tips of the needles from turning yellow.

In the spring just after the buds start to grow. Choose a well-draining substrate that will avoid stagnant moisture at the roots. Repot every 3 years for mugo pines in formation, then space them out as they mature and become denser.

Pruning : Always leave needles and buds on a branch you cut back, otherwise it will dry out. Shorten the longest branches, the twigs at the back will take over.

Ligation : During the winter until the beginning of spring so as not to damage the buds and candles. The mugo pine has a fairly soft wood that is quite easy to tie and allows for fairly free shaping.

On a mature bonsai, fertilize only from summer onwards. On a mugo pine in formation that you want to grow or densify, start fertilizing in late spring.
