Mugo Pine vs Bristlecone Pine
Pinus aristata
Pinus mugo
SOLD OUT
NOT AVAILABLE THIS SEASON - MIGHT RETURN
Bristlecone Pine is a small to medium evergreen with an irregular habit and contorted branches.
This extremely long-lived tree is relatively low maintenance and drought-tolerant.
It is known for its deep green to blue-green needles flecked with white resin, and its thin, scaly, grey-brown bark. Because it is extremely slow-growing, Bristlecone Pine is well suited to smaller properties.
The Mugo Pine is a smaller evergreen that is commonly seen in small city lots or up against houses or commercial buildings. Its slow growth allows for a long life without ever getting too large.
It is a very attractive tree that seldom gets the attention it deserves outside of professional landscapers. Mugo Pine is an extremely hardy, adaptable evergreen.
