About this Small Mugo Pine Bonsai, 5 Years Old (Pinus mugo 'Valley Cushion')

A dwarf mugo pine of the 'Valley Cushion' selection, 5 years old and 9 to 11 inches tall. Growth is dense and slow, which is exactly what is wanted in a small pine: branches stay short, needles stay in proportion, and the crown fills in rather than stretching away. Those needles are a deep, dark green and are carried on upright branches all year round. Cold presents no obstacle, the plant being hardy to fifty degrees below zero Fahrenheit, so it stays outdoors through the winter as a matter of course.

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.
