Primary branches: matured, woody
Secondary branches: maturing/becoming woody with tertiary elongation and buds currently pushing new growth
To monitor: the hardening off of 2024 Spring growth and consider selective (secondary branch) junction reductions in the Fall of 2024
End goals among my 9 Norway Spruces vary as I plan to grow some longer and taller, while keeping others small with shorter branching/ramifications

All but one or two Norway Spruce will remain and be shohin size from now and into final stages of refinement.

As with the others, this Norway spruce is responding very well to BIOGOLD + 🐟 emulsion, additional reductions, and furthering early deadwood and jin. Tree is right on track as planned with Sergio 👨‍🏫

By far, Norway is my favorite Spruce.
