Blue Colorado Spruce Nursery Stock February 2025

[Broke Bonsai Bloke]

Purchased January 2025.
Have had some advice from my local club.
Will try to do most tasks and styling self directed.
Will try techniques that push my knowledge and skill level a bit.
Posting some steps taken so far and will add throughout the year.
Not trying anything dramatic on the main trunk line.
The species is new to me but I purchased 7 others to create a large forest. This single will help me learn the tree before taking on the forest.

Looks like some good material for some learning.

After removal of some foliage gradually over a month did a mild discovery of nebari and base and decided to try wiring some surface roots with aim of improving the somewhat lack of radial spread of the larger surface roots. In spring will be more aggressive on the largest root on the left that heads straight down.
