Maybe something like this? Or a windswept using the same trunkline?

Attachment: _20171005_142325-800x492.JPG Hi all, Picked this Mugo up from local garden centre for £15 with decent 1.5 inch trunk. I've cleared out all small dead branches and needles and removed some soil to reveal more of the trunk. It has lots of branches and I know it's difficult from the photo to see what's going on inside. Is my only option a broom style incorporating a jin? Can anyone suggest styling advice for this garden centre Mugo? Thanks, jay |

Jin the left hand branch over winter and develop the tree from the thicker, right hand part, above the right turn. Keep turning to even out new growth. |

I tend to agree with Don on this one. The left hand side needs reduction and compacting or jinning. It might just be a little too thick to use live which is probably why Don suggested a jin. |

Thanks for the advice chaps. Think I'll jin the entire left side and maybe tilt the planting angle slightly to the left also. |

Pines tolerate a lot of bending, ans so the styling options are quite significant. Let's see a load more pics from all sides before you start cutting stuff off and jinning branches? |

Beware of the sap when you cut . You will probably need to seal the wound ( water doesn't work ) other wise it will leave white weeping sap marks all over the tree . |

Overhead view Attachment: _20171009_122852.JPG Sorry about all the pics. Any more styling suggestions would be great. The trunk and where it splits, I think are too large to manipulate. I will get the cut paste out. I was too lazy. Thanks, Jay |
