Origin
The Pinus mugo March, also known as dwarf pine, finds its origin in the mountains of Central and Southern Europe. This plant species is notably adapted to harsh conditions and is therefore naturally found in high-altitude areas, from the Pyrenees to the Balkans. It has made its way into gardens and parks all over the world, due to its resilience and aesthetic value.

Characteristics
The Pinus mugo March is an evergreen coniferous plant known for its compact, spherical growth habit. This conifer can grow to a height of about 1 meter, but the growth process is quite slow. The dark green needles, which are often shorter than those of other pine species, are also characteristic. In addition, the plant produces cones, which are initially green and become brown upon maturity.

Care
In terms of care, the Pinus mugo March is fairly straightforward. The plant does not have many requirements for the soil and can be placed in both sunny and shady wind-protected spots. It generally requires little maintenance, except for the removal of dead branches. This strong dwarf pine has a good winter hardiness and does not need any frost protection. Regular watering of the plant is advisable, but it can also withstand periods of drought well.
