Pinus mugo subsp. uncinata is a tree-forming subspecies of Pinus mugo native to the western part of its range; in Spain, the Pyrenees Jura and western Alps. Forms a large tree 20 - 25 m tall with a regular broad oval crown. The crown is densely branched and shows very full and compact. Needles always in bundles of two together, 3 - 6 cm long and often slightly curved. The needles are dark green. Very suitable for small groups or solitary use in parks and gardens. This subspecies differs from the typical Pinus mugo in that the plant grows tree-like and the cones are always crooked, where in P. mugo they are much more regular in shape. Considered a separate species by some taxonomists and then called Pinus uncinata. Hardiness zone: 3
Pinus mugo subsp. uncinata rastie priemerne rastúci a môže dorastať do výšky v závislosti od podmienok stanovišťa a klímy.
Správny čas na výsadbu stromu je mimo vegetačné obdobie. V strednej Európe môže byť Pinus mugo subsp. uncinata so zemným balom vysadený od polovice novembra do konca apríla, avšak závisí to veľmi od klimatických podmienok a druhu stromu.
