I picked up a Golden Mugo today to start some planning on. It'll be my first pine and I'm excited to see where if goes!

That's a nice write up I obviously haven't read it all yet but I will be for sure. Is that your project? It seems like I need to treat it alot like a cedar on first glance with the "everything slow and precisely timed" strategy. I felt like having a Mugo seems like a right of passage. I seriously told myself I was just going to walk around the nursery to get out of the house and here we are again. I did talk myself out of the $200 container grown "jakobsen" Mugo so I'll call it a win. Now I need more shelves because it's getting a bit tight out there.Nice tree!

Yeah, my compilation of suff I think to learn, and some progressions of some trees.

Nah, treat it like a pine. I have found cedar to be unpredictable. Pine is predictable for me. Pine dies.
Come to think of it, the one cedar I had died upon the first repot. But then again.. I did a "broadleaf style repot". Barerooted, and cut all roots back. Early days..

I'll have to check more out. Progressions are nice to see. It can be easy to see a nice tree in there but knowing what to do to promote specific growth in specific spots seems really hard deciduous seem easy enough. I have a hard time planning conifers though. I will say I'm mostly using cedar as my benchmark since they are the bulk of my current conifers.

And so the new line research begins!

If you have any thoughts for new articles that you would like to see there, let me know.

Would you say I'm dangerously close to the end of summer to do any summer work (repotting)?

Looks to have pretty good bones.

I thought so! I'm just hoping I can make the nebari agree this is a nice front. They had about 10 of them and I thought this one seemed like the best most interesting one. There were a couple close runners up though so I'll try to stop myself from getting more

Will do. I cleaned up all the dead needles already and wondered if I should leave or pull the little weeds.

I am not sure how close you are to fall. But I am sure @Vance Wood has the experience to give you some realistic ideas

Absolutely! Evil
insidious Irish(false)moss in the pot. Destroy it! Pull out by roots. Do not throw on ground. Most insidious persistent hard to get rid of weed known to Bonsai keepers. Do not allow to go to seed.

Yeah I was reading through the @Vance Wood tutorial for Mugo and saw the repot in summer in the notes. I'm currently on the don't do it side of the fence. I'd rather wait, than go for a "might still be OK" it looks like we're about a month out from first frost I am reading though that these wintergold Mugo are hardy to zone 2. Basically I could keep it in my deep freeze over winter.

That's a pretty pine! I haven't ventured into those myself yet. Looking forward to seeing where you take this over time.

My thing with you waiting to Repot, is you're going to have to not do anything to it until then,then nothing else for a good year.
This is since usually these require entire tips to rebuild roots before we can style them.
So I say, if you got the soil, Repot at the next full moon.
