Mame
I just bought a couple of mugo pines this weekend to try and get my feet wet with pines. They are very small and will likely be styled into mame trees over the next few years. I have been reading through several of the mugo threads and looking at @Vance Wood's care sheet. I will plan to repot them into little colander's this summer and do some initial pruning for design, but I am wondering if it would be a terrible idea to clean them up a little this winter (remove the small, week interior branches) to get a sense for the tree's shape?
The first 2 pictures are of one tree and the second 2 are the other tree.
