The oldest needles on many pines turn brown at this time of year. Is
this what your tree is experiencing?
I wouldn't worry about some of the lower growth expanding, even though
it's late. If they don't harden before the cold gets them you will get
lower budding with mugo's on last years growth next spring.

I've been waiting for some of our learned colleagues to answer your mugo
pine questions, but I guess an answer isn't forthcoming.
FYI ... I have two mugo's. One appears happy with normal growth patterns
and
the other (in a nursery pot/soil) is doing exactly what you've
described. I
guess all I can do is sympathize with you, and wait for spring !!

I have a mugo in a nursery pot and in nursery soil. I plan to move it to
a
training pot, and the appropriate soil, in the spring when the weather
conditions are more agreeable for working with mugo roots in my temp
zone.
Until two weeks ago the tree was doing fine. Within the last two weeks I
noticed that the older needles have started to turn brown. Also,
laterally
the tree is breaking bud and the buds are starting to open with needles
approx 1/18 to 1/8 inch in length. While the lateral buds are breaking,
the
terminal buds are tight and remain tighly closed as I would expect them
to
be at this time in the season. The crown remains very green, with no
noticable bud break or buds swelling. The crown also does not show and
tendency towards browning. Any thoughts as to what could cause the tree
to
brown and also break bud at this late date in the season?
