all that I know about this one is that it's been around since the late 1980s, found by Arne Jakobsen of Denmark. This is a seedling selection, possible a cross with Pinus nigra. That's how we explain the whiter than normal candles.

Great plant! I have three of them in various spots in the garden. The dark green needles contrast great with the winter golds.

Will, thanks for showing us this very nice pine.
Imo it's one the best green one's availlable on the market yet.
This is because of it's nice shape, nice colour and slow growing rate, which will make it perfect for all gardens.

Dave, your info is almost correct.
Arne Vagn Jakobsen found this beauty in 1987 as a seedling.
It's almost certain that this one is a cross with Pinus nigra because of it's very dark green needles and it's buds which are not typical for Pinus mugo and their colour is more white.

A lot of times this cultivar is written as 'Jacobsen' which is wrong and must be changed in 'Jakobsen'...

At least I can participate here 'cause I've got one of these growing too-plantes some three or four years ago
Definitely one of my favorite Mugos!
