Anybody with updates?
Even if your jam is dead I would like to know why.

Surely you have seen this one at Bonsai West @Soldano666 made from Alberta Spruce? This one has a couple decades head start!!
Really straightened itself out looking back at this. Slowly selected branches since that last post, and did some initial structural wiring this fall.

In my second photo, there is a twin trunk behind the front smaller and curvy (3rd) trunk. I’m unsure, at this point, if I’ll remove it and reduce to two trunks. Three might be interesting.Okay, I’ll bite:

I was advised to allow the trees to recover until next Fall before any further actions (additional pruning or repotting).
Mine have done fine here in DC. What about loosing those lowest two bar branches (might be a back branch)? Guess that would depend on the depth to soil in the pot.Here's my DAS and what I did with it back in October. It's still kicking. Not sure if it will survive a summer here in zone 7b. This last summer was brutal.

This is really nice and very representative of a realistic spruce found in nature. You nailed it!I’m horrid at photography , but here is mine after a year without wire and in need of a trim.
