Origin
The Pinus mugo Mops, also known as the Dwarf Mountain Pine, is a coniferous tree originating from Europe. The species thrives especially in the Alps and the mountain areas of Central Europe. Due to its adaptability to different climates, it is now cultivated all over the world.

Characteristics
The Pinus mugo Mops is a dwarf variant of the Pinus mugo, meaning it remains relatively small compared to other pine trees. The tree typically grows 0.6 to 1 meter in height and has dense, dark green needles. These needles are usually 2 to 5 centimetres long. The cones are small, coloured brown to black, and usually only appear after many years of growth.

Care
For the care of the Pinus mugo Mops, it is important to know that the tree thrives best in full sun to partial shade. The soil must be well-draining, but the tree can tolerate moderate drought. Regular fertilisation is not necessary but can promote growth. Pruning is generally not required but can be performed to maintain the shape of the tree.
