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 from the spruce's slingshot double trunk. Noticed when watering though a distinctly unhealthy pallor, a lot of the needles seemed to be lacking a little of their original turgidity. I didn't touch the rootball past the top layer of dirt, but I did get rid of maybe 66% of the foliage.
Is it good as dead? Just in shock, or in rigor mortis? What went wrong horiculturally?
I have no experience with alberta spruces, but I have a few full size Colorado blue spruces in the yard and they do just fine no matter what I do to them.
