Picea Glauca Conica
Hi,
This was our christmas tree. I am now wanting to cut it down to 30" to 35" and do massive pruning and wiring.
The trunk is 4"-5" across - not circumference. The tree is about 60" to 65" in height.
My idea is formal upright with few branches sticking out horizontally (masssive wiring). The branches would be longer at the base and shorter as one proceeds up the tree. Left, right, back, etc. There would be gaps between branches. Hard to explain in writin, but I believe you have seen the idea.
When I cut the tree down to size I was going to try to root the trunk where I cut it down to size. Rather ambitious aren't I?
Anyway I will attach 2 images - bottom and top of tree. It is extremely dense - may get an ungodly amount of cutting, however I understand that these tree don't appreciate that too much.
If you have questions please ask and I will respond.
Ideas on my hair brained idea would be greatly appreciated. I hope someone responds to this post - I don't seem to be getting a very good response.
Thanks again,
V.
