So today I decided to tortur.....ah-hem, work on another young Mugo... Pumilio like the first one, and the same age as well (in its 5th season). So here I go with another $7 Lowe's Special!
After poking around the base and removing some extra dirt, it became apparent that all the roots were angling away from the trunk at the same angle... When I saw this, an idea instantly popped into my head as to what I should do with this tree, but I needed to do a little more investigating to make sure it was feasible. So an hour later, after careful soil and muck removal with minimal root pruning, I was left with this...
Jackpot! They all terminated from the trunk in the same direction, and even grew in the same arc under the trunk. Why was I so excited? Let's see if you can see what I saw...
Anything yet? Let's do a light wrapping with some twine. There! How 'bout now?
Yup, I see me an exposed root pine in the making...
