Nursery Mugo

I got this Mugo from a nursery late Fall '07 when it was a dense ball of needles. The portion where there is now a jin used to be the main trunk (followed by the pompom of needles).

The features that attracted me to this plant was the contorted shape of the main branch and a pleasant taper.

- "#54637 " is the actual plant;
- "#54635" is a virtual with the current leader removed.
- "#54636 " is a sketch of the future of the plant.

Let me know your thoughts. New ideas to the design of this tree are most welcome.

If it were mine, I wouldn't tip it as much and use what you have as an informal upright, curves and branches are in the right places, and I like the jin and that second branch would make a good leader.
