A Picea pungens\/Colorado Spruce that has had something of a frugal existence living in poor soil inside a plastic container for so long! The tree has wonderful bark, great overall vitality and is ready for styling as soon as it goes dormant this Winter. I will update later in the year after wiring and styling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> If you enjoy this video, please like and subscribe!
