I would not follow it for the Mugho repot.Maintenance Schedule

And before that comes knowing how to recognize when the tree needs it.“When the tree needs it” always comes before a schedule.
Yeah its a good guide to follow, but people should get in the habit of seeing if the tree “needs it” before they do a technique or something.And before that comes knowing how to recognize when the tree needs it.
It is not intuitively obvious to many, many people.
Very true, and that is why I and probably many are here. To learn from those more experienced what to do and when and how to recognize what the tree needs.And before that comes knowing how to recognize when the tree needs it.

You already know the answer. They're happy and healthy now. So they don't need a repot. Sometimes trees can be that simple.All still learning, I’m starting my 4th year in the hobby, in March. I don’t feel confident I can read my trees properly yet. I feel more confident in knowing what they cansuffer, and when and how they will grow, to what extent, their reactions.
For example I’ve 2 big hornbeams, both were in airpots, huge great big things and full of root, very established.. I don’t know if they can stand another growing season without repotting or not. I’m going to ask Bobbys advice (and I’m gonna regret it cos he is gonna lay in to me for not knowing!!) but he had one of them before me so also has hands experience with the tree I’m talking about.
Takes time and experience
It's winter time, we're bored and we start thinking too much!
In that vein wouldn't revising the schedule to just show season rather than month be most helpful?I think people are looking for some way to organize their thoughts, their care, and have a gentle reminder of when is a good season to do what and when, especially for those not long into the hobby such as myself. I don't have a huge amount of experience with most things so having some idea of when is a good time to begin looking at doing certain things helps remind me to be aware of things. For instance, I know now that deciduous should be repotted as buds are swelling, but for someone else, to have an idea that this happens about this time of the year in their area will make them aware to keep an eye out or to check their trees at that time.
