A Picea repotting Adventure.
I bought a Picea glauca, Dwarf spruce.
Unfortunatly , the original picture got corrupted. But here are some shot of my reppoting. First , the initial roots. Last edited by Camay123 : 29-Jul-2004 at 09:43 PM. |

I needed something to hold the tree in the grow box.
So I got the drill and made anchor hole in the bottom of the box. |

Very cool twin trunk. I am relatively new so forgive me when I ask this question, but isn't this the time of year you aren't supposed to do any repotting?

You are absolutly right. I should have wait till october or november for a spruce. John Naka say July is risky for transplanting. August is almost certain death. But in emergency alway repot. The tree did not cost me much, and I had to do it. I get this urge of doing something sometimes. |

not many roots left for that much foliage. hope it pulls through for ya. Where are you goin from here in terms of design? I just picked up a black hills spruce and I'm either doing informal upright or formal if i can straighten out a slight bend in the trunk.
Good luck Tom |

I agree. Not much root. This is more "do or die" situation. But I like risk. Ill study the tree for now, also study books. Maybe ill go with a double trunk, or a trunk and a jin. If someone has an idea. |

I like the double trunk idea. Looks like the left trunk is thicker, so it should be the taller of the two. I would either bend it so it was straight with the bottom of the tree, or plant the whole thing on a tilt to the right, and bent both trunks vertically. Either way you prevent the "slingshot" look. I like your tree, and im actually curious as to why there aren't more spruces out there.
