Tiny Mugo

[Leigh Taafe]

Hi,

Just repotted this tiny mugo - thought I might share it with you.

It is around 8 or 9 cm high including pot.

Hope you like it.

Cheers,
Leigh.

nice mate, looks very good, it always amazes me how these tiny ones are kept in such great health.
how is it to water such small trees? less more often i take it?

[Jordy]

It looks great!

urgh! i want to get all these trees!
but i don't know if i'd be able to keep them all alive if i splurge out on all of them

Me too! I'm hoping to do some of my seedlings as Mames. I mostly like Shohin, but a few Mames would be good.

Hi Jamie - this one - being a pine, and a very slow growing one at that - doesnt mind getting dry - I only water it as often as the rest of my larger trees.

Cheers,

Leigh that is a very nice tree. It should be on my bench with my mame and shito. Alas they will not let me import it.

I looked at the pic and my first thought was "wow, that's beautiful!"
I really, really like it ^_^

On a side note, where does every one get the tiny tables from? They are fantastic.

Thanks for all comments.

This tree is around 30ish years old. I got the tree from Grant Bowie a few years back. He had started the bonsai from tube stock, so there are no real large chops that have had to be healed. I have never had a problem potting mugo throughout spring. I just wait until we get past the colder early spring days.

This little stand, I am not sure where I picked it up - I cant remember - I have had it for some time now.

Cheers,
Leigh.
