Just got 2 Mugo pines from my local garden center for a price I couldn’t refuse

[bonsaiboy60077]

Was in my local garden center yesterday, and saw the clearance section, got 2 mugo pine one gallon container size for $5.00 each. Asked why they were on clearance, and they said just because they were left from last year. Got 2 of them, and after watching a couple you tube videos from Heron’s...... thinking about getting one in the 3 gallon size pot, however that is not on sale. Seem to be cool trees.

Good buy for $10!

Thanks. Might have to stop by tomorrow and grab either another one, or a spruce or juniper or both.

Nice! I love finding neat material on sale because the box stores don't see the "Bonsai Value" or the tree within the tree.

I bought a bunch of mugos last fall. They are fun little trees. Check out the "All aboard the mugo train thread". There is also a compilation of Vance Woods's threads on mugos which is an invaluable. resource.

You got lucky with those, I can’t seem to find good ones that aren’t clumps. Good find!

 

[Srt8madness]

Damn. I'd buy every one they had for $5. Niiiiice find

 

[Wires_Guy_wires]

Wait.. What are these plants priced at regularly? Just for my own reference of course.. Over here there's tons of mugo going for 3-5 euros.

Here in South Tejas you won't really find them except at maybe a specialty nursery, and the one time I found, it was like 50 usd for Mugo Bush, maybe too old to be properly trained as bonsai. Coincidently they were dead the next time I visited said nursery.

That’s not surprizing. Compare your climate to where Mugo are native: Northern Europe and the Alps.

They had a regular price of $14.99

Hopefully in about a year or two I will have a few hundred for anyone who is looking for a more bonsai trained mugo!

This is just one row
