I got this little tree quite cheap last week - about $6 - but it had no species tag and the "expert" was not in the store that day to answer my question: Is this is a Mugo Pine? http://w1.500.comhem.se/~u50021159/...ai/AUT_0160.JPG http://w1.500.comhem.se/~u50021159/...ai/AUT_0163.JPG __________________ Best regards, Joakim

Joakim, based on the second picture, it looks like you may have more than one tree, tied together at the roots. I have bought mugos like this from garden centres before. I think they do it to 'bulk up' seedlings, enabling them to be sold as a more substantial plant. It would be worth taking a look below the soil level to check this before any design decisions are made. Tom B

Will I have any luck separating them (keep in mind that I'm a total beginner) or will I have to sacrifice one? I will probably repot the whole thing quite soon to get better drainage in the soil and expand the width of the container with a new pot... __________________ Best regards, Joakim

Posts: 13	Joakim, to be honest I don't know as I haven't tried separating them. I have one like this which I'm developing as a multi-trunk tree (the separate trunks have become grafted at the base), though I'm not convinced its working all that well. Sorry I can't give you any better advice!
