Mugho Pine
This evergreen little dwarf conifer has branching, upright stems evenly covered in 2-inch-long needles of a deep, dark true green.
They make a great landscaping evergreen tree because their shape and size are controllable by shearing.
The Mugho Pine tree, Pinus mugo mughus, may also be called the dwarf mountain pine.
These trees are easily transplanted.
It does require good drainage.
Roots grow near the surface, so using a cover soil with a 2-inch-thick mulch to protect them is recommended.

Corn earworms are ugly caterpillars that start chewing on corn stalks as soon as they pop out of the ground. You can minimize the damage these bugs wreak by sprinkling ground lime on corn ears once the silk appears.
