ILL MUGHO PINE is grown from a se- 
lected strain of seed which produces the 
true, many-stemmed, low-branched, 
dwarf type. In a very limited locality in the 
mountains of central Europe the seed of this true 
type is gathered. It is a high altitude plant 
which grows high up on the mountain sides. 
It does not have one main stem or trunk, but 
numerous stems which branch out close to the 
ground, spreading horizontally and then turning 
upward in even, regular growth. The color is 
deep green in summer and winter. 
It seldom grows over 4 to 5 feet tall, but 
spreads out 6, 8 or more feet in diameter when 
full grown. By annual shearing it can be kept as 
small as desired; in fact, the trees shown in the 
bed planting on this page were kept for several 
years at a height of not more than 8 inches and 
3 feet in diameter. 
The old definition “Short and stout and round- 
about” fits the Hill Mugho Pine. The growth is 
dense and the plants are thickly covered with 
heavy, dark green needles. 
Hill Mugho Pine is a tree which is fairly tol- 

erant of shade and it will grow on the north side 
; te 2 : oe ; or the shady side of a building quite successfully. 
The white tips show the new growth. aes is given the trees in late May and It is without question the outstanding dwarf 
Evergreen tree for all-round uses. 

This bed is on our nursery grounds. By trimming the trees can be kept small and low for 
several years Choice trimmed specimens of Hill Mugho Pine
