Was the Japanese garden in "Zen style" or "tea ceremony style". This is crucial to determine if the pine is ready to be minimized.

Oh i am sorry for bad naming that place it was a garden centre specialized for bonsai and japanese plants. Sorry about that.
Also, i have checked out lot of sites and forum topics about mugo and i thought i can repot the tree next year in june or july to a smaller and wider pot with minimal rootpruning and adding bonsai soil . And then think about any shaping the tree.
And next year, maybe the year over, do the wiring or pruning.

So i called to the shop and they've told me that these pines are fertilized, healthy and ready to be pruned or repotted.

I think repotting and little rootpruning is needed more just because there is lot of roots growing even upwards.

That's what roots do - they grow all directions. Have you ever had someone explaining that the roots growing upwards is the sign that the tree needs to be repotted and roots pruned?

I have some older books so that these informations are bad. I am sorry. I will follow that plan about next year repotting to bonsai soil and bowl-like pot and then think about wiring. Can i ask how i can shorten the branches which are already too long for wanted shape? Thanks
