If planting in spring or summer, start fertilizing late fall using Elements Starter Plant Food granular form on an annual basis each fall. If planting in the fall, use Elements fertilizer while planting and start your regular annual fertilizing the following fall. Continue this for the first three years to get your plant well established as it gives your tree the nutrients it needs to produce lush new growth for the following spring.
How To Prune
When considering cleaning up your Mugo Pine it is more customary to shear rather than prune. With the dwarf characteristics this pine offers it is not required but is accepted if you so desire. Shearing deals with the appearance of trees or shrubs where pruning is done for health. We recommend doing so in spring and only trimming off what new growth is there. Pruning out of season or into older growth will prevent new growth from forming.
