It forms thick park-like woods or impassable thickets, which prevent erosion and avalanches and provide protection for many other life forms.<\/p>\n<p>Because the areas of mountain pine growth are widely separated, the species has evolved over time to produce distinct local forms. Dwarf mountain pine (<em>P<\/em>. <em>mugo <\/em>subsp. <em>mugo<\/em>) is familiar in Finland as a multi-stemmed shrubby ornamental, native to the eastern and southern parts of the range. It has a number of named small dense forms and varieties. From the western parts of the range another local subspecies, <em>P<\/em>. <em>mugo <\/em>subsp. <em>uncinata <\/em>(also called mountain pine in English) can be found as a small single-trunk tree.<\/p>\n<p>The shrubby mountain pines at Mustila were planted pre-war in near-natural surroundings at the edge of the Shoe Rock (Kenk\u00e4kallio), Helanterikallio and Nokkala\u2019s Aarrem\u00e4ki (Treasure Hill), where they are still growing. A few old specimens can be found growing to the west of the Polish larches (<em>Larix decidua <\/em>var. <em>polonica<\/em>).<\/p>\n<aside id=\"keywords\">\n<h2>Keywords<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"ryhmittely\">Havupuut<\/li>\n<li class=\"plants\"><a href=\"\" hreflang=\"und\">Pinus<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"plants\"><a href=\"\" hreflang=\"und\">Pinus mugo<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"location\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mustila.fi\/alueet\/helanterinkallio\" hreflang=\"fi\">Helanterinkallio<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"location\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mustila.fi\/alueet\/kenkakallio\" hreflang=\"fi\">Kenk\u00e4kallio<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"location\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mustila.fi\/alueet\/nokkala\" hreflang=\"fi\">Nokkala<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/aside>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":8816,"template":"","alueet":[1018,1068,997],"kasvilajit":[1086,1089],"class_list":["post-15695","kasvit","type-kasvit","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","alueet-helanterinkallio-en","alueet-kenkkallio-en","alueet-nokkala-en","kasvilajit-conifers","kasvilajit-pinus"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mustila.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kasvit\/15695","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mustila.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kasvit"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mustila.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/kasvit"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mustila.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8816"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mustila.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15695"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"alueet","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mustila.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/alueet?post=15695"},{"taxonomy":"kasvilajit","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mustila.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kasvilajit?post=15695"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
