Pinus mugo var. pumilio

Buy This If
You want a tough evergreen anchor.
Your bed needs texture, not flowers.
You prefer minimal pruning.
Skip This If
You need height for privacy.
The site stays wet.
You want bright blooms.
PGNE Report Card
Category
Grade
Why
Landscape Impact
B
It gives steady evergreen structure, but it is more about mass and texture than flowers or bold color.
Growth Rate
C+
It fills in steadily enough, but it is not the shrub to buy when you need quick size.
Maintenance
A-
Once established, it usually needs little more than light touch-up pruning and watering during dry spells.
Deer Resistance
A-
Deer usually pass this by, since the foliage deters browsing, though no plant is completely immune where pressure is severe.
Small Space Fit
B
It works in smaller beds if you respect its spread and avoid cramming it against walks or foundations.
Screening Value
D
It is too low and rounded to serve as a real privacy screen.
Our Experience
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend this for sunny, tougher beds where homeowners want evergreen structure without committing to frequent pruning or heavy watering.

Customers Usually Ask
Does it need pruning?
Usually no; lightly trim new candle growth only if you want a tighter shape.
Will deer eat it?
It has good deer resistance, though hungry deer can sample almost anything.
Can it go near a foundation?
Yes, if you leave room for its mature spread and keep it out from the wall.
Why Choose Pine Trees for Your Landscape?
Year-Round Evergreen Coverage: Maintain consistent greenery through every season, even in winter.
Natural Privacy & Wind Protection: Dense growth makes pines ideal for screening and reducing wind exposure.
Cold Hardy & Long-Lived: Built to withstand northern climates, pines offer decades of reliable landscape structure.
The Pro Growers of New England Pine Standard
Not all pines are prepared for heavy snow, wind exposure, and northern soil conditions. At Pro Growers of New England, our pines are grown locally and selected for durability, strong root establishment, and long-term landscape performance.
Our trees are not mass-shipped across multiple regions. They are spaced, hardened, and maintained on-site — and you’re welcome to walk the nursery, inspect the inventory, and choose with confidence.
We use your zone to recommend plants that survive your winters, and to estimate when your
order ships — we ship each plant when the weather where you live is right for it.

I went up there today from Quincy MA to pick up two Blue Wichita Junipers and they were absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Chris and everybody from Pro Growers of New England!

The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!

Great prices and Unbelievable selection of big and small trees, shrubs, and flowering perennials! Nicest folks to work with. And local delivery is awesome! First time purchasing from this company, , and have already told friends, neighbors and family. The owner Chris is professional, knowledgeable, and yet laid back in a most friendly way. Mags in the office will help with any details. My all time BEST garden purchase EVER!
Bought 8-10 ft and all were barely 8 if you count the container. Trees are thin and lots of brown branches and broken branches due you thrown in box truck no wrapping or anything. Hoping they survive and thicken up quick…
