A couple years ago I started a formal upright spruce from a sapling. During the rough Alaska winter we had it got knocked over. I. The spring it was mailable so I washed the roots and draped them over a fun rock I found. Then I buried it and wired into a cascade. The last two winters have had record setting snowfalls that have eroded the soil away on top. The first photo with the green circle shows where the rock is. The last photo shows where the rock is eroding. It’s almost time for spring wiring and trimming. Any advice from experts out there on where to trim and where to wire would be amazing. I’m just winging this as I go.
