Of all the trees that can be grown as bonsai, the Mug ho pine is still one of the least respected. This may be because it is so common in the nursery trade, no self-respecting bonsai grower would consider the tree worth the effort. Then there are the reports that the tree is difficult to cultivate and hard to transplant. Whatever the reason, the Mug ho Pine is not commonly grown by those who are considered masters of bonsai. Many have one or two but seldom are they shown at exhibits or conventions. The tree is not taken seriously within the bonsai community; instead it is more of a novelty than a specimen. However; anyone who decides to try the Mug ho, and treats it properly, will be rewarded with a bonsai that is at least as beautiful as the Black Pine and almost as lovely as the White.

Srreja,
Huh? Go to Europe. Vance Woods has many excellent Mugho Pine Bonsai, lot's of nice ones around. I find them very interesting, they are just a little touchy for our climate. John

Good advise from John. However if you don't want to pop for the plane ticket. Pick at least one of the 5 Ginko editions "Bonsai in Europe". Its a fraction of the plane ticket and it will enlighten you.

I wonder if Han's is aware that Mugo aren't grown for bonsai

Not meaning to be rude, but if you are going to quote another authors article you should post an attribution, especially when it is word for word (for the most part).

Gday Vance!

I don't think that Sreeja has the ability to give you the credit you are after: I believe that 'he' is just another web bot...

Thanks.

Fly.

Tom has a good bit of advice. Having been to Ginko, and seen the quality of Mugos there, it is blatently obvious that these trees are excellent bonsai material.

Another good place to check out nice Mugos is on Walter Pall's site:

You must also remember...these are originally wild mountain yamadori, not the junk sold in nurseries!

There are junk Yamadori as well, it is all a matter of choosing the right tree. This rule applies to nursery trees also. You cannot rule out a source or endorse a source based on generalities.
