Use the plant water needs as a guideline. Actual plant water needs will vary for several reasons, including weather conditions, soil type, sun exposure, root depth, wind and elevation. Adjust your watering schedule as needed to meet the plants' needs at your site. Water recent transplants more often than established plants.

Mugo pine is a large, multi-stemmed evergreen plant that grows as a very large shrub or small tree. The branches grow in an upright manner from the base of the plant. The branches may be different lengths, resulting in an irregular shape.
Many dwarf cultivars have been developed to better suit small spaces, but the naturally-occurring species will grow into a large plant. It can be a resilient plant for large spaces and a good choice for screening.
There are several mugo pines growing at the Xeriscape Demonstration Garden that were part of the original planting in 1991. They have grown into large, attractive shrubs.
No maintenance is usually required for these plants if planted in a spot large enough to accommodate their mature size.
