Shaping Mugo Pines and Scots Pines | Our Japanese Garden Escape

Our latest video covers both Mugo and Scots pines. Many types of pine are traditionally found in Japanese gardens and provide a peaceful and calming nature within the garden. Commonly in Japan these pines are shaped over time to create specific forms, notably the cloud style that many people are aware of. In this video we cover how to both pinch and prune the smaller growing Mugo and Scots pines in order to begin the process of keeping them in a compact shape.

Plants mentioned in this video:
Mugo pine - Pinus mugo
Scots pine - Pinus sylvestris

We are in a climate/hardiness zone 6 and all plants above are growing well in our garden.
