Beginner here.
I purchased this mugo yesterday. It is from Iseli, and the cultivar is "Sherwood compact".
After reading a lot on mugo pines on this forum, and especially the guide by Vance Wood, I will be repotting the tree in July and starting the reduction process, as nary a ray of sunlight has perced that canopy for years. Where do guys suggest to tackle branch selection? Cut every second branch, third branch, the weakest ones, the strongest ones? So far I've only cleaned the 2-3 half dead branches that were hitting the side of the container, and I have left a stub as recommended.
