Pinus mugo 'Uelzen'

A dwarf, slow-growing, evergreen conifer, which unlike the typical species, produces a compact, flattened spherical bush up to 25cm (10in) high and 50cm (20in) across after ten years. The mid-green needles are small, stiff, and 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
