Hi- Have you checked out the Nature's Way bonsai studio in Harrisburg?
Yes! My avatar is the one I got when I took the intro class there. I have also sent in my form to join the Susquehanna Bonsai club. It sucks that they're almost an hour away since they're the only bonsai nursery around. I am going to see if I can work it into the budget this year to go see Walter Pall in October when he is in town!

Some day you could be running your own nursery. Have fun!
Is it a goner? Some of the lower branches seems to have full green needles. But I have been pulling out small handful of fully dried needles from the inside of the plants last few days. Only did a partial root prune and repot a few page back on the thread maybe a month ago?

I think they are fine. Looks healthy as far as I can tell.

Mugos drop the interior needles that are usually three year old needles. You're fine.

Seems to be alright. Hands full of old brown needles seems to be the cost of nursery Mugos, this is not a problem. Make sure you water the tree only when they start to dry. When those of us start into bonsai we tend to think that water is the problem, so we water proving one simple fact. Too much water is virtually the same thing as not enough water. Try to keep the tree evenly moist; never totally dry like a desert nor soaking wet like a swamp creature.

Grabbed this off of one of the only Mugos in the neighborhood and thought, that's the
Beautiful.

I was thinking of.
Beautiful.

This is the result of the terminal bud being damaged and subsequently abandoned by the tree. What happens next is that two buds, often twin buds like these, will form to replace and provide for the energy the tree is sending to that location.

They look like the buds of P. Uncinata.

Why in the world would I do that? Maybe you were not logged in?

This small low bud appeared about a week ago and has been growing.
Trimmed Pugo the other day.

Went a bit hard on the needle nose pliers!
Why not remove that small side root?

Haha! A little!
I haven't thought much about the roots yet, something is building below here I hope I can work with.
