Hi Kitsune,
if you use the proper techniques "Mugo Pines" can bud back very vigorous. Even on older wood. I have described the same methods I used on this Pine in a article you can find on my website linked below. Than click on Two needle pine care article.
I hope this helps? If not let me know. It takes a few years but it possible in most cases.
Regards,
Hans.
