Pinus Mugo Big Tuna Mountain Pine

Pinus mugo 'Big Tuna', commonly known as the Mountain Pine, is a rugged and versatile evergreen tree appreciated for its compact form and resilience. This cultivar typically grows in a dense, rounded shape, with dark green needles that cover its branches, providing year-round interest in the landscape. 'Big Tuna' is characterized by its larger size compared to other Pinus mugo varieties, making it a striking focal point in gardens or landscapes. Its slow growth rate and tolerance to harsh conditions, including poor soil and drought, make it ideal for rocky slopes, alpine gardens, or coastal landscapes. In spring, 'Big Tuna' turns showy in winter with new growth.
