lovely video. i was always excited to see peter chan's mugo pine videos so this was plesent. I had a potential video suggestion that ive been struggling to find good resources on as a beginner: how to identify common bonsai species. I am struggling with the diffrences between the types of pines and junipers etc. might be nice for some others getting into the hobby also
I came here after seeing Darren's video and I am very thankful for this collab cause It allowed me to meet your channel. I have been binge watching your vids and I LOVE them. Well done 🥰
Hi, during a break in the processing of my bonsai, I look at you by. Your channel is really top and I find your relaxed way in the videos AND in the design of your trees really great! Keep up the good work, it's fun to watch you! Greetings from Germany, Holger
I've been interested in bonsai for awhile now and I've looked at many channels to learn more about the art. I don't know what it is but you're doing something right because your channel is definitely my favorite. I look forward to your next upload.
Great job! I'm in the Greater Toronto area of Ontario, so our fall/winters are harsher than yours. I have several mugos. Some I have repotted in July (as per Vance Wood on Bonsainut), others I have repotted in April (usually a month later than other pine varieties I have). I have had success with repotting at both times. In the April repots I do more root pruning than when I repot in July.
I have always wondered if you have to remove the wire you use for tying the tree into the pot at a later stage to avoid deformed roots? Or do you only take it out when repotting after 2-3 years?
Hey there! Nice video, I enjoyed watching you work on the tree. However, one thing that I noticed was how the anchor wires were left up and exposed (above the soil). I am used to seeing people tuck the anchor wires into the root ball. Plus, I would be concerned that someone would cut themselves on the wire when moving the tree or checking on it. Keep the cool videos coming.
Hey thanks for the kind words! This is a great point! I like to leave them on trees so that when it comes to removing them it is easy to untie. For me the only person who goes near my trees is myself and the way in which my wire cutters cut the wire does not leave it very sharp after 😊 If I am selling a tree I would cut the wire or tuck it under the soil 🪴
I’ve been hearing all of you in the Isles reporting mugos this month so I rolled the dice and repotted mine here in New England in the States. Hopes it does okay!
Do you find the pines survive the winter after repotting and root pruning at this time off year and not waiting until the spring when all the hard weather has passed . I would be pleased to hear your results on mugo pines in England. My pines won’t survive the winter if disturbed now maybe to risky as we have -8 Here at times and my trees live outside . I know the practice works in spain Italy etc and practiced here also on very very healthy bonsai . Keep up the good work 👋 Shsun 👍
Hi m8 . Great watching your videos I'm new and just getting started , one thing I would like to ask is when you repot a tree how long is it before you start to feed them do they need a rest period . Thanks Steve I'm in England Essex .
Great info. I’m in zone 8b and have a Mugo in basically a brick it’s so pot bound. Just would love to put it in a bigger pot with a slop pot but so afraid to do it until Summer. Looks fine up top. I’m going to have to break the pot and cut the wire also. Any advice? Thanks
I recently purchased two nursery mugo & repotted them. Both were terribly root bound and I’m afraid I removed too much of the root mass. Time will tell, I suppose.
Hey! sorry to hear this! The first step is to carefully assess its current condition. Check the needles for any discoloration, such as yellowing or browning, which could indicate stress from over or under-watering, poor soil drainage, or root issues. Inspect the tree closely for any signs of pests like scale or spider mites, and look for resin build-up or unusual swelling that might suggest fungal infections or physical damage. It's crucial to evaluate the roots by gently removing the tree from its pot-if the roots appear dark and mushy, this could indicate root rot, which requires immediate action such as repotting in well-draining soil and trimming away affected roots. Improve air circulation around the foliage, avoid overwatering, and place the tree in a bright, airy location to support recovery. I hope this helps!
Il mugo di per sé non è un'essenza facile ma la situazione si complica di molto con quelli da vivaio . In Italia sono spontanei in montagna , i boschi di mugo sono detti mugheti e i loro rami vengono trattati in modo da ricavarne un olio essenziale molto pregiato e dai molteplici usi . I yamadori di mugo sono abbastanza lavorabili ma bisogna ugualmente procedere con la massima attenzione , mentre quelli da vivaio sono molto difficili da gestire con le tecniche bonsaistiche ; se ad esempio si flette un po' troppo un ramo si rischia di perderlo e in generale mal sopportano le lavorazioni e , se sopravvivono , si bloccano , quindi generalmente sono sconsigliati . Per i rami seccati probabilmente è stato il poco sole oppure un colpo di secco di varia eziologia ; le radici non erano a mio avviso un granché , poche micorrize e un colore non ottimale , per cui avrei fatto un inoculo con micorrize e messo l'esemplare in uno scolapasta da cucina , metodo che si utilizza per favorire al massimo l' areazione , usato spesso con i pini . In ogni caso mi auguro che sia tutto andato per il meglio , ma se così non fosse non fartene una colpa in quanto quelli da vivaio creano qualche problema anche agli istruttori
My dear... If you believe you can remove ALL microbs just by removing the soil from roots (especially if we mind mycorrhizal fungi, i.e. those, which are tightly attached to the roots)... Well... Dream on...
You're absolutely right! 🤗 Completely eradicating all microbes, especially mycorrhizal fungi that intimately associate with plant roots, isn't feasible by merely removing soil. While repotting or transplanting a plant involves removing some soil, it's impossible to eliminate these beneficial fungi entirely. By incorporating some of the existing soil into the new mix, you're providing a familiar environment that aids in the quicker establishment and growth of the plant after repotting. 😊🪴

Hi! Thank you 🤗
Great work Adam! I'll be super interested to see how that mugo develops in future videos.
This is an easy to follow excellent explanation for first repot on a nursery mugo. Great stuff Adam

Hey Pinoydad_0811 Thank you so much for your support!
Great demonstration Adam. I always look forward to your videos.
Nicely done Adam 👍
This is gorgeous!
Hey thank you!

Great job, looks bad ass already.
Awesome job, I’m too new to give ideas but I love your work and artistry.
Thanks Adam, I'm currently working a few mugo pines myself. I find they back bud on old wood very good
Nice work lads
Wow, another very inspiring day for me, thank you so much, love your bonsai trees, keep it up.🥰😍😍
great video as usual 👍🏻🌳🤍
Great job, thx for sharing😊
I have always wondered if you have to remove the wire you use for tying the tree into the pot at a later stage to avoid deformed roots?
Or do you only take it out when repotting after 2-3 years?
It is removed just before it bites in 🤗 Once the tree is stable and established in the pot it is no longer needed to prevent wobble 🌳
@@notionbonsai Thank you, I guessed it was that way, but never saw anyone talk about it for the roots, only when wiring the branches.

Okay I’m ready to try a mugo pine now
I’ve been hearing all of you in the Isles reporting mugos this month so I rolled the dice and repotted mine here in New England in the States. Hopes it does okay!
Curious. Did it do ok?
From my personal experience with mugos - spring repot died, august repot - lived.
That’s surprising 🪴🪴
Thanks!
Hey! Thank you so much for your support 🥰
Ah a fellow northy, subscribed 👍
RIP in saw this too late, just potted and trimmed a Mugo this spring 😅
Thank you
Do you find the pines survive the winter after repotting and root pruning at this time off year and not waiting until the spring when all the hard weather has passed .
I would be pleased to hear your results on mugo pines in England.
My pines won’t survive the winter if disturbed now maybe to risky as we have -8
Here at times and my trees live outside .
I know the practice works in spain Italy
etc and practiced here also on very very healthy bonsai .
Keep up the good work 👋

I like to size of the roll of wire at 10:30 Adam. Did you re-roll the smaller ones or did it come like that?
Hi m8 . Great watching your videos I'm new and just getting started , one thing I would like to ask is when you repot a tree how long is it before you start to feed them do they need a rest period . Thanks Steve I'm in England Essex .
Great info. I’m in zone 8b and have a Mugo in basically a brick it’s so pot bound. Just would love to put it in a bigger pot with a slop pot but so afraid to do it until
Summer. Looks fine up top. I’m going to have to break the pot and cut the wire also. Any advice? Thanks
Could the die back be due to phytophthora?
Do you use the same kind of wire for the branches and the pot?
Yes I used aluminium wire 😁
What are the ratios of yoir soil mixture?
1:1:1 😄
❤❤❤
Can I ask what size the training pot is please Adam?
I recently purchased two nursery mugo & repotted them. Both were terribly root bound and I’m afraid I removed too much of the root mass. Time will tell, I suppose.
I would love if at the beginning when you say the tools I will be working with today….ALL THE TOOLS
I’ve killed two Mugo’s, and am currently working on killing a third. Can’t get to grips with them.
What kills them
I have a mugo pine looks not too healthy..bought it last spring at a bonsai show..what is best thing to do to it

Apprezzo molto il tuo consiglio! È davvero prezioso per me quando si tratta di lavorare con i mughi. Grazie ancora!

Akadama is inert, it has no benefit for bonsai , on the contrary can damage the roots
