Seems a more dense variety.
Nice base on that one!

Google is your friend
These are colorado blue pics 2013
ok Sorce these are photos of the large colorado blue spruce taken today. (5 years after the initial repot)
There was some good years when it was thriving, the last 2 years spiraling to their death.
The newer tips and buds I think are just from latent energy in the trunk.
One has less than this one but is further along in its demise.
My fault for not repotting 2 years ago and getting the rest of the clay off the roots and fresh soil mix.

I been a little worried about this one.
But after spending some time with a landscape Blue the other day, I realized they were a bit slower as well.
A bit behind, but proportionately equal with the cutting stress....this one is right on time.

Has this tree been pinched? The new spring growth, did you try to pinch the tip and shorten the new growth? It looks like it.
The problem is, that can kill the tree!oh, I know it’s “taught” by some respected bonsai people. Doesn’t matter. It really weakens spruces! Can kill them, in fact. Let the new buds open and grow. As they grow out, they will produce buds as well as needles. After
they’ve grown out in mid summer, you will be able to see all the little buds fitting there. If you want to shorten a branch, do it then, once you can see the bud. Cut back to a live bud. Or, you can cut off a terminal shoot entirely, and train a back branch to take its place.

Mine are slow too.,denformins, and das are all awake and extending. Not the CBS, my summer repot finished off one. She diddnt even get to bud swell, she went grey and dropped,all needles,in the wind this spring. Twas on the burner bench and maybe got a lil too dry in its pond basket. I mutilated one I was sure wasnt going to come back but she's still green and buds are swole

Eeee No!
Just the one lopping of branches upon receipt.
I always try to document any work, even experimental.
I agree that process is rather ...uh..."shouldn't betaught" lol!
I see a pretty clear difference in spruce shoot size....same as Boxwood.
On BHS (densata) There is a natural about half inch wide shoot. About 2-3 inches long.
And the bigger inch wide shoots, about 4-6 inches long....
In CBS or seems 3/4in and 1 1/4 in maybe a little bigger...
Simply favoring those smaller buds and keeping them balanced seems to keep them uniform in tiny foliage.
That "spruce for real" thread is sure coming!
Especially sonce you agree that technoque is weak....worse yet....weakening!
I dont see a purpose for it at all..
Quite honestly....I feel it is leftover from when we were taught to keep trees unhealthy for small growth .
Or the dreaded....mistranslation of Japanese info!
