Funny, on the way to take my son out for lunch yesterday there was a bald eagle sitting in the middle of a field. Getting more common to see eagles around here.

Did some work on the twin trunk white spruce. Removed some of the soil to get down to the nebari. Then cut the bottom branches off to expose the trunk. Lightly pruned roots.

Potted up the tree tree in potting soil, perlite, pumice, akadama, kanuma mix (basically my leftover soils from other projects).

Clean up of some of the lower branches and some of the soil and longer roots.

What, no planting it into a tire?

I can't get over this!
What store sells tires and trees!?

And they thought Florida was bad!

We are coming closer to the end of the Little Christmas Tree contest. Final photos should be posted in your individual threads, and will be voted on by the general membership starting on April 30.

Time to start thinking about your repotting, final design, wiring, pruning and generally getting the trees in shape for the contest!
