Data sheet

We offer here a Mugo pine, approximately 20 years old, specially left uncultivated for several years so that you can cultivate it yourself as a bonsai.

  • Photos taken in September 2025

This tree has intentionally not been pruned or shaped: everything remains to be done! This is the ideal opportunity to practice on a mature tree with great potential. You will have to gradually:

  • branch selection,
  • wiring and shaping,
  • structural pruning,
  • and finally, repotting, to be done at the end of the work.

⚠️ This is not a job to be done all at once: the transformation takes place over several years, step by step, respecting the tree's rhythm.

👉 This Mugo pine can also be cultivated in a bonsai club, where you can benefit from the advice and experience of other enthusiasts.

A real challenge, which will allow you to be proud of shaping a 20-year-old raw tree into a future beautiful bonsai resulting from your own work.

Cultivation Advice

In its natural environment, it is a mountainside tree exposed to cold, wind and sun. So you have to leave it outside all year round and it doesn't require any special protection.

It should be controlled and moderated. Let the root ball dry out a little between waterings to avoid excess moisture. Protect mugo pine during periods of prolonged rainfall to prevent the tips of the needles from turning yellow.

In the spring just after the buds start to grow. Choose a well-draining substrate that will avoid stagnant moisture at the roots. Repot every 3 years for mugo pines in formation, then space them out as they mature and become denser.

Pruning : Always leave needles and buds on a branch you cut back, otherwise it will dry out. Shorten the longest branches, the twigs at the back will take over.

Ligation : During the winter until the beginning of spring so as not to damage the buds and candles. The mugo pine has a fairly soft wood that is quite easy to tie and allows for fairly free shaping.

On a mature bonsai, fertilize only from summer onwards. On a mugo pine in formation that you want to grow or densify, start fertilizing in late spring.
