Hi Jerry,
They're both hanging in there, despite my abuse. I did some major pruning on both. They were such tight little cones; I just had to see what was inside. I probably over did it, but I think they'll pull through. I tested the PH of the soil and it came up pretty neutral, so I haven't done anything with the soil. I have decreased the water a little. There doesn't seem to be any change in the foliage. They still look a little yellow to me and some of the needles have brown tips. They're still in the nursery pots I bought them in, I plan to put them into grow boxes come spring.
If anyone is interested (and promise not to report me for tree abuse), I'll post some current pics. It would be nice to have some input on where to go with these little guys, assuming they survive my butchery.
Best,
Kevin
