The cone mountain pine
The cone mountain pine has a narrow growth. It is only two meters wide and reaches a maximum height of five meters. The cone mountain pine prefers a slightly acidic, dry to moderately moist soil in a sunny to partially shaded location. It is hardy and evergreen.
The creep jaw
The creeping pine is only about 1.5 meters high because it creeps on the ground. Its dark green needles are ideal for greening any surface as long as it is illuminated by the sun. The plant is considered to be extremely hardy.
The spherical jaw
In the case of the spherical jaw, the shape also plays the role that gives it its name. The dwarf pine impresses with its round, even growth. Your needle dress is particularly dense. The spherical jaw remains very small at just 40-60 cm. It hardly makes any demands on the floor. You can plant them in either a sunny or partially shaded location.
The winter yellow dwarf mountain pine
While numerous plants shed their conifers or leaves in winter, the winter yellow dwarf mountain pine will add color to your garden. The otherwise green needles turn golden yellow in autumn. The flowering in June and July is also nice to look at. Male flowers then shine yellow, the female red. The winter yellow dwarf mountain pine is a shallow root and feels good on well drained, humus rich soils in a sunny or partially shaded place.
