Thanks for the bump! I enjoyed looking at this tree just now. I agree with Vance first comment about the straight portion too. It is kinda annoying, but you have a perfect first branch! Here's a quick sketch of how I see your tree. Just a fun drawing exercise for me. You don't have to change anything. Can't wait to see what you did with it this year.

Well, nothing as dramatic as Si's lovely drawing, but here is the progress so far, primarily involving the development of ramification and foliage pads. The fall work in November will include reducing the number of buds per branch end are reduced to two and the old needles will be plucked, reducing the visual weight of the foliage. If you look back to the December 2004 styling pitures, the speed of progress is clearly demonstrated. In fact, I'll need to be sure that the needles don't get too short for the height of the tree.

(The tree will be rewired and styled in January. John)

John, It's a great tree. Sorry you couldn't make it. Hey, what do you think about next Thursday? I could come there or you could come here, it's your call.

Come on up. Will have the guest room ready- my Avatar (see picture) assumes the right to sleep on the feet of all who stay in the guestroom.
Chris (I have plenty of soil so if you bring the spruce/trees, we can handle it)
