The form and habit of the Mugo pine can be quite variable, although it is usually low, broad-spreading, and bushy. Mugo pine can take on a more prostrate form as well as become tree-like. The species may grow to a height of 20 to 25 feet and spread 25 to 30 feet; however, there are many dwarf varieties and cultivars available. The dwarf height averages 2 to 5 feet tall and spreads outward.
