ok i finally got around to doing something on the spruce.there weren't any problems really other than an abundance of branches starting at the same point on the trunk. ill probably tweak it over the next year but i expect that it should look something similar to this at the end of the comp depending on the amount of growth i get over spring that is. all in all id say not to bad for my first spruce. and if anyone is wondering it currently sits just a fraction under 25cm

That's a real pity. I've only ever had one spruce, and it died too. I was too sad after that to get another one! Mine died after repotting as well-- they musn't like it.
