I collected a group of spruce last year in the mountains right outside of town at about 5500-6500' elevation. I handled them a little differently than I have in the past and also did not dig in areas that produce tap roots. They all did very well. I had no browning and very little to no needle loss. They are a vibrant green right now after winter here. I am doing just a bit of pruning and wiring. I am having trouble with the direction to go on the double trunk one. It is very healthy as you can see, but think the double might be un-acceptable. I have a number of thoughts:
1) Remove one of the trunks completely
2) Gin all of or part of the second trunk after cutting it down a bit
Please tell me what you envision here if you have time. Yes, I think most of them need more movement too. Thanks, Peter
