Repotting My Mugo Pine, The Bonsai Zone, March 2024

- I'm repotting my Mugo Pine (Pinus mugo) that I got last year from a club workshop. I discuss when to repot Mugo Pines and I will see if this tree survives bare rooting and some major root pruning.

I just recently transplanted a black pine and did some severe rootwork on it. When I got nervous about its survival I said "Nigel does this all the time though" Ha, You just gotta be careful I guess 🤣
Lots of myths in bonsai world
Thanks for addressing the myths! They make it difficult when starting into bonsai
Another point of brilliance is the concept of trees creating their own soil. I’m surprised I’ve never heard it said but it is definitely the case. Soil is decomposed living matter and trees produce dead tissue as it grows and thrives.
i had a mugo pine i was working on for 5 years, my wife dumped killed it, i guess she was pouring her unfinished left over coffee into that pot every day... :/ it is no more
Can I call "S.A.V" : Save and rescue" in the french air force or i will trust in you work, lol...verry good job Nigel...difficult tree the Mugo Pin...
I’m looking forward to an update on this tree!
the issue is that a lot take too much roots away when repotting. Going back to 1/3 is too much for a Mugo. That‘s at least my experience.
I think most of the pines you see where they don't bare root are on established trees. once the basic shape of a tree has been established, the pruning and training mehtods are different. I'm not sure many people nunderstand that. Bonsai is like just about everything else. there is a lot of misinformation out there.
Perfect timing of a video, once the weather lifts a little in the uk i shall repot my mugo...
"These roots are worse than my hair"
The King of Patience!!!! You amaze me every time my friend! Looking great. I hope you bust the myth.
Hi Nigel, I have been watching your channel since I've been watching bonsai videos on youTube. You're one of my favorites by far, you being from Ontario (I'm in Manitoba) so some of the trees like your Thuja are also my best bonsai varieties. I admire your experience and your "clip n' grow" method that you adhere to without compromise, it's very inspiring.
Excelente trabajo. Gracias.
Relaxing. Please keep us updated on this tree
Fascinating information about the MP. I have confidence in the good doctor with his surgical skills on the roots. This tree is in good hands.
What I understand re. mugo repotting is that it works well in late summer because they are mountain trees. Spring comes late, and winter early. So a large part of root development is later in the year.
This is a fabulous topic as these types of trees are my kryptonite, but more so does the myth really apply across the board.
I repotted mine last fall when they said you should...it died. So much for that. LOL!!
Merci 🤩
