As per Vance's instructions here: https://www.bonsainut.com/resources/compiled-vance-wood-on-mugo-pines.23/
I was impressed with the michorriza on this

I scraped off the woodchip from the top and sawed the rootball in half
There weren't really any I would consider too thick bit I cut a couple anyway, I put it in a large pond basket with free draining soil and selected my branches,
And here it is so far:

The bar branch looking first branch on the left is actually another trunk I didn't notice when selecting

I may keep it or I may find its attached lower when the time comes to dig deeper from the top!
