Re: overgrown dwarf mugho

Saruma is in the fall catalog listing on the web site, Auralie.
    New to the nursery and just listed for the first time this fall. Will be
in next springs hard copy catalog as well. I don't think I remembered to get
a decent photo of the plant in bloom. Probably will have one up, at least of
the leaves, on the web site at a later date.
