1st Try Mugo

Got a new mugo and I think it has a lot of potential. I've been reading up on how to prune the little devils. I was wondering if anyone can approx. the age of this tree? Here are several views of it. Thought about maybe doing a jin on the right smaller trunk. Open to any suggestions!

I've seen a lot of these in garden centers, but no matter how much I look at them, I can't seem to figure out what would I do with one...
Next time I spot one I'll ask for age.

If you are intending to style this tree soon the first to do is dig down to find the nebari. It is usually buried deep under the soil. Have a look at this first and take a photo with the exposed nebari and the rest of the tree. Also looking at the root base might help people tell you how old it could be.
