Spruce

Post by CraigM »

Finally managed to complete the initial styling of the spruce, purchased around 6 months ago from Bonsai Art nursery. I am happy with initial results, have not wired all the finer growth, will now to leave the tree to recover. The weaker inner branches should strengthen with exposure to light and reduction in outer foliage.

There was a stump underneath the apex where the tree must have been reduced in height previously. Converted this to a jin and extended down the rear of the tree.

Could probably do with fewer branches, but quite like the look of a fuller tree. Will see how this one settles can always decide later.
