Pinus mugo Gnom

Pinus mugo ‘Gnom’ is a classic miniature mountain pine prized for its extremely compact size and dense, symmetrical form. This very slow-growing pine develops a tight, rounded to slightly flattened mound with very short, dark green needles, creating a neat, cushion-like appearance year-round. Typically reaching just 1–2 feet tall and 2–3 feet wide, ‘Gnom’ thrives in full sun and well-drained soil and is exceptionally cold-hardy and tolerant of tough conditions once established. Its tiny stature, clean form, and resilience make it ideal for rock gardens, alpine troughs, containers, and collectors seeking a truly miniature pine.
