Greg: Why did you not post that stuff earlier when I asked my original question? Why did you instead assume that I was trying to impugn your ability with this plant? It is quite obvious you know what you are doing with it but you instead, decided to go down the deep and ugly. And you are also correct I don't know a great deal about the ins and outs of Manzanitta---that's why I asked my question.
My original question:

What is wrong with this question? Maybe it's just because I asked it? But instead of getting what you just posted, which would have answered my question---and honestly stimulated more as in how did you do it--you responded with this.
Why don't you give it a rest, Vance? We've been through this on a number of forums; it's ridiculous. First on Garden Web, then IBC and this one a couple years ago. I'm through posting to refresh your memory every couple of years. The only point I see to your post here is to belittle the tree being presented.
I might say that I've seen your nursery mugos and they leave me wanting when compared to some of the awesome yamadori mugos we see in a lot of European shows. And the yamadori pines that are available in the U.S. make yours look "young and small". How does it feel, back at ya?
I too find my Mugos lacking but what does that have to do with this?
I have never insulted you purposefully, or said your work was wanting, but you found it necessary do that to me. I think this shows a little more about your mettle than about your skill with this tree and I find it sad.
