Masterpiece
I dug this guy up from my front garden today and then potted him up. I planted this Mugo maybe 12 years ago and he's always plodded along not growing massively each year. The weed matting came up from around it and it had a ton of feeder roots snaking along under it.
There's a few good sides but the apex is full of foliage and impossible to photograph by myself. I don't want to take anything off - it needs all the foliage it can get for root recovery. It's going to be 20C or less with some rain over alternate days for at least a week so I thought now seemed a good time. I planted in in mostly pumice with some moler for CEC and a little Kanuma.
It had a lot of feeder roots above and around the woody ones so I didn't want to anchor it in using the woody roots. It would have crushed a substantial number of feeders hence the above ground tie in points using the jins.
Good fun and if it survives it should make a decent tree.
