Pinus mugo 'Golden Glow'
Dwarf Mountain Pine
This is a 'standard' trained form. Golden Glow is a mountain pine with yellow needles from mid autumn until mid spring. In late spring they change back to a typical green colour. Growth rate slows down with age, and the plant starts spreading horizontally rather that growing upwards.

Planting young plants
From Early Spring TO Early Spring
Dig out an area for the tree that is about 3 or 4 times the diameter of the container or rootball and the same depth as the container or rootball. Use a pitchfork or shovel to scarify the sides of the hole.If container-grown, lay the tree on its side and remove the container. Loosen the roots around the edges without breaking up the root ball too much. Position tree in center of hole so that the best side faces forward. You are ready to begin filling in with soil. Create a water ring around the outer edge of the hole. Not only will this conseve water, but will direct moisture to perimeter roots, encouraging outer growth. Once tree is established, water ring may be leveled.
