Re: mugo pine repot
Seems like a nice start on the pine. Guess the pot is OK for development over the next few years but would like to see a side shot.
It's too bad your in such a hurry cause the stories I could tell you, Bushels and baskets of stories, hole crates full of stories. But if you can spare a moment I will tell you one story.

Ah nice thanks!
I have some thoughts on the top branch for you but would like to hear yours first if I may be so brash

like a sore thumb and wireing it and bending it down towards the cascade so it would be more like a windswept.

Re: mugo pine repot
Ok thanks, I don't dislike that branch at the moment but in classical thinking (or cookie cuter thinking which I don't dislike either) It could be used as a sacrifice branch for some time before being severely reduced or even removed all together. If you wanted to go for something more unusual, more difficult, I think you could play around with that branch for a few years to see if you can come up with a pleasing design but keeping the option of removing it all together which I think is a good possibility. Should be a fun tree to work with over the years. Enjoy
