Colorado Spruce first wiring

Why hello there. I’ve been busy as of late but it’s been another prolonged period without a post so here we go.

I got this tree for a great price from a local nursery in Brno called Carex. They tend to have some good evergreen pieces that are meant to be garden trees but could make interesting bonsai as well. I took a crack at such a piece.

It was re-potted this spring and it recovered quite well and therefore applying some wire and beginning the journey seemed like a good idea.

The poor fella was probably in the same container & soil for years. This was the beginning of April this year with the new buds getting ready to burst

The right branch will probably go in the future but I need it now to push the tree forward, health-wise. A high Alpine tree is what I am eventually going for.

I hope you’re enjoying the fall!

Late spring update

Howdy everyone! It’s been some time since my last post but that’s because we’ve been busy with our new family member and several other things. I’d like to take this opportunity to show some of the changes in the garden.
