Suggestions for future styling of Spruce appreciated

Will_Heath

This spruce was collected in North Daykota about 5 years ago, it has recently begun backbudding on old wood and I am beginning to think about the future of the tree. Any and all suggestions are appreciated. And yes, I realize it still has a long ways to go...

Rain down the fires of hell on his head for incorrect picture angles!

Will,

An idea. Not difficult to do. A nice Euro-tree for your collection:

Oh yeah, the picture angles are incorrect. I didn't even notice - I was so busy trying not to get upset at out-of-focus shots of buds (or caterpillars, or scale, or something, I couldn't really tell) and trying to make virtuals for trees shot with a @!#$%@#$ wood fence behind them.

LMAO!

After all the times I have been raked over the coals for pictures, you'd almost think I did this on purpose just so Carl would have something to say...lol.

Thanks for the suggestions, both so far are very interesting. Fish, a Euro tree, huh?

Hi Will,
Just another idea for your tree. I would consider only using the first branch and styling literati style. Not sure how the foliage would look but here is my attempt.
