You're not going to turn a branch into a root. It is possible to get a branch to produce roots if you bury it, as I interpret your question. This is called ground-layering, and isn't as easily achieved with pines as with some species.I have a young mugo I trained a bit last year. It has a nice thick branch that sits just above the the soil. Would it be possible to stick the end of the branch into the soil and turn it into a root.

Well it is right on the suface of the soil that's why I was thinkink of trying to get it to root. We will see I guess. No matter what its going to stay in place for a few years. Thanks for your help
Dre, is it possible to incorporate the branch into the design? Cascade or directional?
Do you know how far down the nebari is?
I just got a mugo in a nursery pot like that. When digging for nebari I stopped about 2 inches down with no nebari in sight yet.....
Could be a ways down. ?
