Mountain Pine
What: Mountain Pine (Pinus uncinata) is a larger, faster-growing cousin of the mugo pine with a dense, upright-spreading form and deep forest green foliage. This extremely tough and adaptable small tree is excellent for challenging landscape sites.
Best use: Mountain Pine is ideal for accent plantings, providing shade, or creating effective windbreaks and shelterbelts. Its dense, upright-spreading habit makes it an excellent choice for doing the tough chores in your landscape where other plants might struggle.
