Dwarf Globe Blue Spruce Progression

[Joelshack2362]

Starting a progression thread for this spruce I got today couldn't pass on the price. When looking at it at the store I saw a possible good front. I removed just enough to see the front I like. I will let this get used to it's new home before doing any major work.

After looking at it from a different angle and and a design on my phone I went with a different approach to the front viewing. I didn't want to do too much pruning but I did cut back some of the bigger branches that wouldn't be apart of the new design.

Took some more off the sides and top. Still looking to reduce more on the left side over time.

Did a hard initial styling using wires and guy wires. And created some jins.
