Beginner here . Living in zone 4 of Minnesota , we don’t have access to Japanese black pines or Japanese white pines . But we do have mugo .
Today found an amazing Jacobson mugo pine at local nursery and at a bargain as it wasn’t in greatest of condition . Lots of dead branches and when took it out of put to check heavily root bound and also it was planted way deep . I have been searching for a nice one that I like for over a year and finally found one I think …
Brought it home , cleaned up the dead woods and brown needles , potted in an air pot with pumice , pine bark fines and red lava . Took out 1/3rd of roots and kept root ball mostly intact as am scared to bare root it .
Planted with Myke’s mycorrhizae and gave it a drink with superthrive .
Let me know what Incan do to reduce the transplant shock . I have heard of Dyna Gro KLN but don’t know if it’s needed .
Sorry if this sounds too novice …
anyways here is the pic
