View prices and availability
Pinus mugo 'Gnom' is a slow-growing cultivar that can eventually reach a height and diameter of 4 m after many years. It has a very dense, spherical crown shape. The dense crown shape is formed because each shoot branches annually with 3 - 5 young shoots. The stiff needles are 3.5 - 4.5 cm long and dark green. 'Gnom' is mainly used as a shrub and then very suitable for use in groups at roundabouts, embankments, along roads, in parks, in cemeteries and in (large) gardens. Is much less often applied as a tree form, but even then it can be planted in small groups or as a solitary in cemeteries, tree boxes and in parks and gardens.
Was selected from a large quantity of seedlings by H. den Ouden in Boskoop in 1927. Hardiness zone: 3
