Love your statement. " Slowly over time the tree becomes more refined". I will use that statement, I'll credit you. Thank you. Ken

I think it's a very beautiful tree and would have the potential to be a show tree some day

A very Merry Christmas to you and your family Nigel! Thank you so much for such a great year of bonsai learning. I really appreciate the variety of your content. Your spruce is looking awesome after its winter prune. Wishes of joy for 2025!

This is a great looking spruce after the pruning. I bet with some mini lights on it and some snow outside on the bottom for a nice Christmas tree. Merry Christmas to you and Laura and family. Enjoy your morning coffee, Christmas Morning, with Laura.

When I was younger I didn't like Spruce bonsai trees .I didn't know what people see on them. Now I have totally different look on Spruce bonsai trees. And Marry Christmas Nigel.

Merry Christmas to you Nigel, your family, freinds...and for the cats too.

This reminds me of my dwarf Alberta spruce that I pruned years ago when it was dying back hard... except I pruned it (cluelessly) into the style of an Austrian pine. Considering how many Alberta spruce's are out there and how few Austrian pines remain relatively, it was a happy accident! Happy holiday to you Nigel, and all the folks that are reading!

It’s really refreshing to see conifer bonsai with straight well proportioned trunks. I always see traditional pine bonsai with thick, curved trunks with extreme taper but I have never seen one in nature this way. Trees in Minnesota look much more similar to yours.

I will try the technique of pinching back the new shoots to stimulate back buds. That has been my problem with Alberta Spruce, so thanks for the tip, and Merry Christmas Nigel.

Thanks for sharing the Alberta Spruce video Nigel, most informative. Can I ask what brand the shears you were using throughout the video please? They seem quite comfortable to hold.

Hy Nigel, is it an épicéa conica glauga in latin word ? Happy Xmas...

[@nathalierouhier4726]

Please, could you put more light when doing the video ? Thank you

[@jballenger9240]

You sent a mixed message to the male cat and to Joan. You were too welcoming, in front of Joan, to him. More kittens? Has Joan had a trip to the Vet?

[@t3dwards13]

Lol I could have sworn you were gonna accidentally say "my terracotta pot is totally f*****".🙈
