MUGHO PINE (pinus mugo)---outdoor,
From the mountains of central Europe, the stiff needles are in pairs, dark green, and 1 to 2 inches long. There are numerous varieties from prostrate to upright trunks, and various types of cones. The short needles and compact branching make it very desirable for bonsai.
