My first Mugo Pine....Need Help

I recently purchased this Sherwood Mugo Pine from a nursery and since I am new to bonsai and never worked on a pine before, I was hoping to get some advice on what to do next. Any help is appreciated. The tree sits about 12 inches tall from soil line to the top and is absolutely full of branches. The guy at the nursery seemed to think the Pine was about 7-8 years old but he wasnt sure. Also, if someone could tell me how to post me pictures, I would greatly appreciate it. It is saying that my file is too large. Thanks.

First of all you need to read all you can on the internet about Mugo Pines. Get to know your tree. Then ask about the things that are confusing to you. On posting Pics you need a program like PhotoShop that will let you save to a smaller size pic. I know some on here use a free program that you can download. Maybe someone will know what it's called.

To reduce pictures go to www.shrinkpictures.com. Even a dummey like me can do it. Good luck, Larry.

Oh and by the way, you will have to experiment with the setting options to coincide with your camers settings to get the right size.

You might make the pics a little bigger. Can't see much. Here's a good site about Mugos. http://www.bonsai4me.com/AdvTech/AT...s%20Indepth.htm

looks a great tree but yes you need compress the quality of the file but take and leave the dimensions of the shot a little bigger. you're nearly there just have a play.
