Hi Peter

The trunk has a nice movement and taper, how wide is it?.....It will be interesting to see the crown when finished.

Kind regards Yvonne

Hi Peter
It looks very interrested Peter, but I find picea dificult to work with, have tried some but both died.
but good luck to you.
Looking forward to seeing it later on when you have worked on it.

Yvonne I measurre it if its stop raining.
Lone yes they can be difficult I heard, tryed one many years ago it died 2 weeks after digging, we have to see with this one, it had to go so I took it.

Peter

Hej Peter [Hi Peter]

Tillykke med din Picea A. jeg krydser fingre ;-) [Congrats on your new Picea A. Fingers crossed ;-)]

Are you going for a han-kengai using all of the apex or something else in mind?

BR from Loke Emil

Dont know yet Loke, the way its now it looks like a tree frome the african planes, flattop.

First of all it will get rest for about 2 years if it survives the digging, a small anekdote, wilst I was cleaning the roots I found a newt inbetween te roots.
The name of the tree will be newt I guess.

Peter

Well. Newts are survivors...come to think of it. One could always hope that something Baddeley Will happen to Newt...it might work just fine

Everything is for sale fort the Wright price

Could be this is a stayer, first I have to keep it alive, until now it seems to be doiing okay, still early times though.

Peter

There is always something beautiful(deadwood and styling) to make from those picea's.
A few years ago i had a few to.
here is one of them i styled a few years ago.

Great design Yan. Looks like you'll be helping Peter with his then?
