Mountain pine 'Sherwood Compacta'
FamilyPinaceae
Pinus mugo 'Sherwood Compacta', also known as Mugo Pine 'Sherwood Compacta', is a dwarf evergreen conifer with a very dense, globose habit, sought after for its naturally compact and regular silhouette. Its slow and controlled growth makes it an excellent choice for rock gardens, foundations, small spaces, and structured landscapes. Its dark green foliage, composed of short, stiff needles, maintains a beautiful color all year round, even in winter. Very hardy and tolerant, Pinus mugo 'Sherwood Compacta' adapts well to poor, sandy, or rocky soils, provided they are well-drained. It prefers full sun exposure to maintain its density and compact form. Low-maintenance and durable, it is a reliable choice for bringing structure and permanence to a northern garden.
