Colorado Blue Spruce 3 – Acquired

I picked this up from Janet Payne in her estate sale after losing her husband. Lee Cheatle from the Portland Bonsai Association facilitated the sale and I was a volunteer helper there.

This has wonderful age and both tells a story and presents a problem. The thickness of its three branches are reverse - the top is thickest and bottom thinnest. Also, the top branch crosses itself in it's current composition. Still a great tree and an interesting project.

I'm pleased to make its aquaintance and glad to be entrusted with its care moving forward.
