Interesting trunk line. When you say you are changing the direction of the foliage, what is the plan? Thanks

Hi Dorothy,
I am moving the foliage down along the trunk more. See the old pics below.

Very nice blue spruce Vance.

Very nice blue spruce Vance.

Your stuff is not exactly shabby, it's very nice---all of it. You didn't answer my question though; where in Michigan do you live, no address just location and just curious. I live north of Detroit about twenty-five-miles.

As to the Blue Spruce, it looks a bit run-a-muck in this photo. I let it run wild last year because the year before I had done some serious detailing for a show and they do need a period of freedom to stay healthy about one year in three.

Mugo Pine two years after first potting and styling. Originally a balled in burlap nursery tree.
