Hi again mates, long time no see...
Among the 20 or so Picea pungens "Glauca" that I sowed, this is the only one I've got left. Some of them died, others were not "glauca", I gave some, and sold (the best) one to a friend.
I had this "number 5" that had lost most of it lower branches. It's getting hotter and drier here every year, not the ideal place for Picea...
August 2019 :
September 2021 :
August 2022 :
January 22nd, 2023 :
I should have removed the bark when it was still green and supple underneath, I know.
The dead trunk may seem a bit too long, but I like it this way for the moment.
I wonder what the roots are like, if I can repot it in a "transitional" smaller pot...
