#spruce

I want to make a forrest out of Alberta Spruces this spring (the cheap $10 ones from Walmart which are pretty small). I was wondering, should i grow each tree separately in their own containers and put them in a pot together a few years from now? I made this "pot" last week to place them...

Did some 'initial styling' mid-Oct. on an Alberta Spruce I picked up at Home Depot, had growth down to the trunk and fairly horizontal branches to go with the really thick trunk, so I figured it was worth a try (and 40 bucks...) The idea was to eventually get a krummholz windswept sort of plant...
