This Spruce was collected back in March 2012, full story here.

During the week I decided to give it a clear out of the dead branches and remove a few unnecessary ones. I have chased back the foliage a bit too to encourage some back budding.

After a lot of turning around and a little thought I opted to remove  the branch on the right and do a little shari.

It will now be left alone until next year to allow it to recover and back bud.  I see two options with it and a lot of raffia in it’s future 🙂
