Does anyone know of a good place to get mugo pines in the chicago area?
Any advice on how not to kill them?BC Bonsai and Hidden Gardens are the only 2 bonsai specific nurseries I can think of. There's also Chalet on the northside which I've noticed is starting to have a few items marketed towards the enthusiast/dabbler... I've purchased and killed many mugos from Home Depot and Loews.
Yes I do see a lot of Mugo Mops or the dwarf variety I am looking for just a standard Mugo. I guess as garden centers get trees in I will see if they have standard and not the dwarf varieties. Thanks for the help @penumbra @smjmsy00 @sorce @rollwithakIn my area I have never been to a garden center that did not have mugo.
Or if anyone knows a good place for JBP in the area
From a landscapers view the common mugo is like a poor mans Cadillac. The dwarf varieties are what is desired in the landscape. The common mugo is more likely to show up at big box stores. They can be a challenge because of all the multiple trunks and reverse tapers ensuant. I love them as bonsai though so I just potted up a dozen 5-6 inch liners I bought on eBay. I can guide them more directly toward my intended goal rather than end up with plants that look like octopus.Yes I do see a lot of Mugo Mops or the dwarf variety I am looking for just a standard Mugo.
