new mugo pine

Very old mug pine, Pinus mugo, collected by Marco Merschel, who shows it to me. This tree found it's way into my garden today. The first thing I did was pulling the two stiff trunks together. I had to do it three times with copper wire 3mm to finally do the job. There is still some room for bending further. I will do this next summer. I think that this tree will stay in my collection.
