I have never seen or heard of one before. Whilst looking through the garden section of Home Depot I seen a display of these Birds Nest Spruce. They are literally a birds nest with many branches going each and every way, I picked one up, I could not see any hint of the trunk on this plant in a 4 gallon container, so i reached in and grasped the base of teh trunk which was as big as my wrist. It went up about 4 inches and split into two trunks. the rest is a mystery as it gets so tangled there is no way to discern what is where.
I am thinking about buying this bush, the trunk is brown and rather smooth, looks like a pine without the scales, and is only about 2 and half foot tall. Opening up the top there are two main branches about the thickness of my thumb going right and left, the needles are real short, maybe a half inch. I wonder if any of you have worked with these? Are they fast growing, do they handle root pruning well? They sure look like an awesome Bonsai starter material. The tag on it says hardiness -40 degrees. i would love to know if they have any drawbacks as the bush is $25 and would be the most expensive Bonsai material I have ever purchased, yup I am a tightwad.
