I collected this blue spruce in 1999 at around 11,000 feet. That's me in the background with all the dark hair.
I immediately took it home and plopped it into my garden. Here is the tree first potted up in 2005.
Notice that the top had grown far too big for the tree. I wish I had removed the rest of that extra root at that time.
The next two pics are from 2007 when I began working on the tree.
