Comments (50)Fantastic specimens, Frank! There are a good number of Pinus mugo cultivars that turn a brilliant gold color in the winter. If you have any, please share them here! Pinus mugo 'Carstens' has a yellow-gold color that intensifies toward the needle tips. 'Amber Gold' is a similar cultivar that has a deeper golden color which is almost orange. In my opinion, it is more outstanding than that of 'Carstens', although both are excellent winter-gold pines. -Sam...See Moregambled on a Pinus mugo 'Valley Cushion'
Comments (24)1 : not animate: a : not endowed with life or spirit b : lacking consciousness or power of motion ===>>> sorry to disagree.. but trees do not have a spirit ... nor a consciousness .. nor an independent power of motion ... they remain inanimate.. no matter how you choose which words to pick from a definition ... that is.. unless you prefer to use the druid/pagan-webster dictionary ... lol ... ===>>> there is a theory .. that a threat to a plant.. will cause it to release growth hormones .... in response to said threat .... so treating it roughly ... can actually be thought of as a plus .. [and in this case.. since OP was anticipating serious root surgery .. then i saw no reason to worry about beating it out of that pot it was in .... in my world.. it was more important.. to get the job done ASAP .... avoiding drying to the roots being most important... rather than doing 3 hours of TLC surgery.. and worrying.. etc ... the long soak prior.. and the fast repotting.. probably did more for the plant ... than 3 hours of micro surgery could have ever accomplished ...] as compared to too much TLC.. which usually ends up hurting a plant .. but the TLC is a function of your consciousness.. and your response ... while the hormones release is totally lacking in a conscious decision ... and it is not a instinctive physiological reaction ... because an inanimate object... does not have an instinct and i am not a green man .... check this link: http://www.pantheon.org/articles/g/green_man.html but we digress.. lol ... ken Here is a link that might be useful: link...See MorePinus mugo 'Jakobsen'
Comments (6)Beautiful plant, Dave! 'Jakobsen' has slightly crested growth and that is what causes the plant to appear exceptionally dense in places. Crests are a fasciated growth (fan like) with a stem that is wider than normal. This type of growth is quite common in cacti and succulents, but not so common in woody plants. There are a few conifers with crested growth and there is one pictured in a recent thread by toucanjoe (The plant is labeled as Pinus thumbergiana 'Ogi Matsu' and the correct name is Pinus thunbergii 'Ogi-matsu', per coniferjoy.) I have this plant, but it's being shaded by my Larix kaempferi 'Diana' so I need to see if I can dig it up and move it to more sunny conditions. It's a beautiful Mugo pine.

Comments (41)Edwin, it is even more bright in reality, but my camera refuse to reproduce it. It will be very interesting for me to compare all winter-colored mugos about their color-hues, growth rate and how easy they become gold. A little bit more.
