Hi everyone,
This is my attempt at a progress thread to keep my trees documented throughout the years.
My picea started life as one of those garden center christmas trees. It's been in training for slightly more than a year as of today.
The tree was repotted a week ago into pumice and akadama for the first time. It's finally out of it's garden center peat, ready to hopefully form a new denser root mass. It now only has a few large roots with fine roots at their ends.
These roots come out a few inches up the trunk, so I have potted it deep. A much nicer an wider part of the trunk is therefore still obscured.
Here is the tree in January 2023:
... and here it is today, repotted, rewired and with buds just opening:
As you can see I'm aiming for a tall formal upright spruce with weeping branches. An image I often see in mature Spruce here in The Netherlands.
I'll keep a report of it's future progress.
