I think I entered my CO blue spruce and maybe also my big trident maple.
Both alive, both still ugly.
I got the spruce as a complete newb, not knowing that spruce are just about the slowest trees to bonsai so I've been working on it, but super slow.
The trident had ugly roots so I did some root grafts in 2020, all the grafts took but the tree decided it would not grow. Literally. The grafted seedlings have grown great, but for some reason the main tree refuses to grow in any way, it leafs out solid little tufts of leaves with no space between them. So I have been unable to do any kind of branch development. This spring, I will probably remove most of the grafted seedling tops and repot it into a smaller pot and hopefully that will convince it to grow branches since it won't have the seedlings feeding it.
