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. -CB Last edited by ChicagoBlues : 31-Dec-2007 at 04:50 PM. |

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.
