Mugo Pine (Pinus mugo) is an evergreen native to the mountains of central and southern Europe. Its natural forms range from low spreading shrubs to small trees, with dense dark green needles held in pairs.

This slow growing, long lived pine tolerates wind, cold, and poor soil. It is often used on exposed sites, in rock gardens, and in low shelter plantings.

How to stratify seed

In the fridge. Put the seed in a bag with a damp medium such as peat moss, vermiculite, sand or coco coir. The medium is only there to hold moisture. Keep the bag in the fridge, above freezing, for the cold period shown, then sow.

Or outside. Sow the seed outdoors in the fall and let winter do the cold period.
