Pinus mugo 'Pincushion'

A dwarf, slow-growing, evergreen conifer, which unlike the typical species, produces a low, compact, spreading bush up to 90cm (3ft) high and 1.2m (4ft) across. The dark green needles are slightly wavy, giving the plant a ruffled texture and are very densely produced, so that the stems and basal branches are completely covered. It is an ideal choice for a small city, or courtyard garden, where an architectural or evergreen focal point is needed; for container growing, or for inclusion in the rockery
