Posted elsewhere and definitely a WIP. Needles have reduced nicely, looking forward to seeing this one in the spring.

I just finished pruning this one. It’s a little bit different because it’s not intended to be a proper bonsai, but a living Christmas tree! We don’t have space for a full-sized tree, and keeping one alive over the years seems like it will be fun. It is Picea glauca ‘Conica’, 35” tall with a 2.5” trunk.
I’ll try to remember to post again when it’s decorated for Christmas.

Here is a crappy little DAS I started ~4 years ago and grew bored with as I found better species. Fun to hack away when I was a complete noob, but it doesn't respond well to most techniques.

Agreed. Good starter material, in some ways.
Since they're so cheap and hardy they are a great species on which to practice pruning, wiring, and repot skills.
Wired branches on mine stayed in place after one wiring and a bit of play later in the season. The new growth does angle upwards.

Got this little guy Christmas 2021. Have not pruned it at all and it's only grown about 3/4" and maybe 1" on a couple branches. I guess I did root prune when I repotted almost 2 years ago.

That looks like the ‘Jeans Dilly’ variety.

I can’t wait to wire this one out.

New shoots reduced to two per node.

Canopy is filling out. Buds have formed back along branches.
Wire was biting badly in places. There wasn’t a lot so it was removed. A little bark came off.

Here's where I am at after 4 year. Still lots of tweaking to do. Repotted last spring and it has been quite weak all year but I am quite hopefull for some good growth next year...
