A characteristic of the Pines is that the leaves or needles are 
in bundles of 2, 3 or 5, united at the base, and are longer than 
these of the Spruce which occur singly and apparently scattered 
all over the stem though arranged spirally. Most Pines make 
large trees though a few are dwarf. 
Pine, Mugho; Pinus montana mughus 
A dwarf tree, usually not over 4 to 5 ft. high, and may be 
kept lower by pruning; instead of a main trunk it is many- 
stemmed, low branched and dense, thickly covered with heavy 
dark green needles in pairs; cones cinnamon-brown 1 to 1% in. 
long; the new growth is whitish, somewhat resembling candles 
ornamenting the plant; a good foundation evergreen and may 
be used in front of taller evergreens.
