About this Mugo Pine Bonsai, 43 Years Old (Pinus mugo 'Valley Cushion')
43 years of cultivation stand behind this Pinus mugo 'Valley Cushion', now 16 by 20 by 18 inches tall. Its habit is naturally dense, and the dark green needles are carried on branches that rise rather than droop, giving the crown a packed, upward-set texture that persists all winter. As a slow-growing dwarf evergreen it adds very little each season; patience is the price of the proportion it has reached. Rated to withstand temperatures down to minus fifty Fahrenheit, it belongs outdoors permanently, where a cold season is part of its normal year.
Mugo Pine bonsai care
This is a living Mugo Pine (Pinus mugo). Before you buy, this is what it will ask of you:
- Indoor / outdoor
- Strictly outdoor, year-round, with a real cold winter dormancy
- Light
- Full sun. Strong light keeps the naturally dense needles short and tight
- Water
- DRY-ish. Dislikes soggy roots; water deeply, then let the soil partially dry; never let it dry completely
- USDA zones
- Roughly 2 to 7 (some sources start at 3); exceptionally cold-hardy (acclimated trees endure deep sub-zero cold)
- #1 cause of death
- Overwatering / waterlogged soil leading to root rot
Soil, repotting, pruning, seasonal work and the full pest and disease list are in our free Mugo Pine bonsai care guide.
