Pinus mugo 'Mitsch Mini' is one of the most-dwarf of the dwarf mugo pines yet to be named, becoming a dense, miniature cushion with slightly contorted new growth and dark-green needles. After 10 years of growth, a mature specimen will only measure 12 inches (30 cm) tall and wide an annual growth rate of slightly more than 1 inch (2 cm), and will grow even slower when propagated as a rooting cutting rather than through grafting.
This cultivar originated as a seedling selected around 1975 by John Mitsch Nursery, Aurora, Oregon.
