Mugo pines are a monster to tackle . I bought one this year and going to style it in the autumn. They really are a nightmare of spokes.

Hi Tony and Daddy, thanks for this upload. 🙏 My Mugo is still in recovery-mode - so no pruning this year. Yours ist just gorgeous ❤ Enjoy your day while I go to sleep after nightshift. 😘 Cheers, 🙋‍♀️ Martina

Lovely job Tony

I'm hoping to pick up a couple of mugos later this week from a gardener that has been growing in containers. New bonsai

Very very well done. Your dad is a good man. You have to have courage. 😊

You can't beat a bit cooperation between you and dad on the mugo trees, my first thought was far too many branches and. needles I still think the same after seeing the whole video, the old adage less is more especially on pines removing them on the little mugo so you can see on the more of the trunk plus doing that you should get some back budding. Great to see you gradually doing more your self Tony. Stay good my friend.

Good morning Tony. My mugo's will get looked at in a few more weeks too. I much prefer pines to junipers but I think you know tha already. Great stuff and enjoy the rest of the day.

Thank you for the video. I picked up a similar sized Mugo pine last year. I left it in the 3 gallon nursery pot for a while. I can’t recall the exact month that I repotted it. But, it’s happy and in the Spring we got a bunch of new candles. I just haven’t decided on what style to go with for pruning. This video gave me a few ideas. Thanks again! 😎👍🪴

I'm working on my 5 footer trying to get it to back bud so I can trim back. Thanks for your video. Cheers.

Xin chào bạn, cây bonsai đẹp tuyệt vời ❤❤❤❤❤, chúc bạn thành công

Never had much luck with mugo. Yours is lovely. My fav Pine has got to be Scot’s pine in literati style. Thanks for another informative video mr bonsai master 👍

Nice Tony your dads really getting the hang of things mate. At least you’ll know they’ll be well looked after. Taught by the master 👍👍 Pines are actually very difficult to bonsai I find But what do I know 😂😂😂

Mugo Pine: "Just a trim, please."

I like the work on the pines but I would also like to see the colors of the trees that you have in the ground.

I recently picked up a few mugo pines last week. Let me tell you too many branches that new branches were beginning to die off. Since the dramatic hard cut back it budding back quite nicely.

👍👌🙂

I did one of those major branch prune/root prune/re-pot on a Mugo all at once, and it has sulked and looked dead through winter, spring, summer, and now into fall. I’ll protect it from severe freezing over winter. I will be shocked and amazed if it buds out in spring, but not at all surprised if it dies off. Nice job on your Mugo’s. Cheers to Dad. What’s his first name?

Oh Tony, you have thrown a wrench into what I thought I knew about repotting pines in the spring. Now I am totally confused as to everything that keeps its needles on in the winter, and whenn to repot.

❤😢

Mugo Mugo Mugo!

Give the secret how you got life back in that "dead" mugo! I got 2 big ones. Like we talked about 6 months ago. Still brown needles. On one of them the other lost all its needles. I was ready to throw in the bin. When I saw white tips on the roots, I put I back. Is there really hope. I did a repot in the spring to. ...never again on a mugo

I've not tried Mugo before - good to know that it must be repotted in autumn. Do you know any other trees that must be handled like this? Really nice pruning choices for the future betterment of the two trees. I find pines more challenging - what you grow to develop the trunk is not always used in the final composition - my brain struggles with this mental gymnastics 😆. Will be quite interested to track the progress next year.

Is it best to repot all pines in autumn?

When in the spring Tony? Was it early spring like late winter or middle?
