Why is there a man with a giant rose on his head?

 

[Walter Pall]

This is for size comparison - to see how small the tree and the guys are.

Walter Pall and his magic bonsai’d helpers?

Looks like fun, bring out the beer, and it's a repot party!
Gorgeous tree and pot.

Do you have a favorite variety of Mugo? I have Pumilio, Mughus, and Tyrolean as well as the dwarf cultivar Mops. I have read that there are many others.

That new pot is killer

Vance, mugo is a species that likes to mutate a little. Just about every valley has a slightly different type of mugo. They have varying t characteristics. Some of them hate to be a bonsai, some not. I prefer the ones that like to survive.

 

[Vance Wood]

You I am sure understand that I am limited to the nursery trade for my Mugo material, I truly envy you with your access to the real Yamadori.

You're not naming names though.

If they're yamadori he won't be able to as they are all from seed & collected?

I'm sorry; but you don't get it. Just because they are Yamadori does not mean they do not belong to an identifiable group. This is what I am trying to iron out. I know there are some people over here in the US that think the Mugos in the nursery trade are nothing like the Mugos found in nature. Nothing could be farther from the truth, most Mugos are grown from seed or cuttings, grafting is almost not encountered here. It seems to me if as a collector of Yamadori trees and Mugos Yamadori in this case, I would go out of my way to find out which sub-species I am dealing with.

There are no names for these mutations. Garden varieties I don't do at all and have no experience with because the collected ones are so much better. WE have leaned that mugos from some places die easier than others. So we go to the places where the stronger ones are. They have no name other than mugo pine.

I understand.
