The story of this tree
In training since it was a sapling, wired and repotted by Luca. A short trunk that opens into long, low branches, 22 cm tall without the pot in an 11 cm pale ceramic pot. Photographed on 13 October 2026, as it ships.
Pinus mugo, the mountain pine of the Alps, is the most forgiving pine for bonsai. It tolerates cold, wind and drought, keeps its needles short in full sun and buds back on old wood more readily than most pines. Its natural habit is low and twisted, which is exactly what a small bonsai needs. It wants full sun and a free-draining mix, and it is repotted in late summer rather than spring. Our mugo pine care guide has the full calendar.
- About 6 years old, 4 of them in training.
- A short trunk that opens into long branches spreading to one side.
- 22 cm tall without the pot, in an 11 cm pale ceramic pot.
Every tree has more than one path. Book a 1-to-1 consultation with Luca to map out styling and next steps for this exact material, from €29.

Outdoor BonsaiSuper personal service and wonderful rare Acer varieties. When the courier had delivery problems, Luca was easy to reach and immediately arranged a replacement. Absolute recommendation!
Acer Palmatum CultivarsEvening consultation by video call, flawless. Available and professional. Highly recommended.
1-to-1 ConsultationThe courier was late, but the plant is healthy, thanks also to the excellent packaging. A promising larch with a good line and already good foliage. A vaguely literati style that can be accentuated. It deserves a proper pot. Very satisfied.
