Here is one of the two mughos I picked up.
These will not be transplanted until next year but I always take a few steps to get them ready.
I cut down the nursery pot, exposing the hidden trunk and roots, but I leave the few roots that will be nebari slightly buried. I then remove just enough unwanted branches to allow sunlight to penetrate the interior. This helps the existing inner buds to grow, I'll need these when I style in the future.
Below are pictures of these steps and a couple pis of the nice stock that was buried. Vance's "Seeing eye hands" method is truly worth it's weight in gold.
