Hi Vance...
I know you are a advocate for summer work on mugos and given your description above it sounds like you have had bad luck with spring work. In the NW we are just the opposite of what you preach... I reduced a mugo, the roots by atleast 75% and the foliage by atleast that as well and it has responded with a great deal of candle growth this spring about 6 weeks after the work was done. This isn't the first time I have done this either.
Would you say this has to do with my climate vs. yours, my timing has been just right or
? I am curious as to your thoughts on this.
Thanks, Jason
