Hello,

Like Vance said, "Do not take off more than 30% of the top at any one time."

I recently acquired a Mugo for a Roy Nagatoshi workshop. They are great trees.

One important piece of advice he gave is not to do a lot of pruning on it all at once. Many moons ago, Roy did a workshop in Mississippi and they all had Mugo Pines. He had them do a bunch of pruning on them and EVERY tree died. He trimmed mine up a little and said not to touch it for a year.

Just keep this in mind....

Sound right Vance??
