Dwarf Mugo Pine Size and Pruning?

19 years ago

Yesterday I bought two good sized Dwarf Mugo Pines.... Pinus mugo pumilo in gallon pots for $1.50 each. (on clearance) I can never pass up a bargain, but now I'm discovering that they maybe aren't as low growing as I first assumed.

I'm no expert at ANY conifer, so I'm wondering if I can keep these plants pruned low, and maybe encourage them to spread outward? If not, then I have places to use them other than the areas I had in mind. At THAT price I really should have bought several of them!

Any help you folks can offer before I plant them would be appreciated.

Jim

P.S. - I'm in Southern Illinois. I forget WHY!
