fe ees HE Hill Mugho Pine has been one of our spe- 
Lee : a cialities for a great many years. It is a tree 
which grows in various habits, depending up- 
on the source of the seed and upon the attention 
given to pruning young plants. This type is the 
true many-stemmed, low branched, dwarf type, the 
seed of which comes from a limited area in high 
elevations in a certain locality in Europe. 
It does not have one main stem or trunk, but 
numerous side branches which branch out close to 
the ground, spreading horizontally and then turn- 
ing upward in open regular growth. The color is 
deep green summer and winter, although color of 
foliage usually is somewhat lighter in poor thin soil. 
As will be seen from the pictures on this page, the 
tree will, under favorable conditions, spread out 
to a considerable size, reaching a height of perhaps 
six feet. It is possible, however, to keep the tree 
within a much smaller size. Those shown in the 
bed planting at the bottom of the page were main- 
tained in this size of only a few inches high for more 
than 10 years. 
Hill Mugho Pine is a tree which is fairly tolerant 
of shade, and will grow on the north side or shady 
side of a building quite successfully, if kept in a 
good cultivated, fertilized condition. It is an out- 
standing dwarf Evergreen. It finds a place in 
foundation plantings around small homes where 
trees of low growth are needed.
