Candling



We planted a Dwarf Mugo Pine several years ago.  Although it is considered dwarf, it will still get quite large over the years and is beginning to crowd the surrounding perennials.  In spring, new growth on pines and conifers looks like candles on a candelabra. To control the growth rate and shape, we are selectively pruning the candles on our Mugo so that it doesn't take over the entire space.
