That is going to be a beautiful tree, you can’t pass up a good deal like that.

No doubt!

Way to close to the patio concrete I think and those ground covering branches are gorgeous when you let them spred , I wish I could show you mine you would see the potential

I found a colorado blue spruce xmas tree that was thrown away in January 2024. It was so beautiful I couldn’t watch it being thrown away so i brought it back home and put it in a bucket of water. It’s July now and the tree isn’t dead. 😁. In fact there are baby pine cones growing on the branches. Has anyone seen this or heard of this? There’s no roots forming but the tree isn’t dead and baby pine cones are forming and growing. Can this tree be hydroponically grown in this water bucket?

What planting soil, &/or compost did you add to the dirt you dug out? Did you add any peat moss? We have a clay soil. Would you suggest adding gypsum?

[@HomegrownHowTo]

We also have clay soil. I didn’t add anything at the original planting. I created a garden bed around this tree after planting with a lot of organic compost and amended the soil around the tree. Adding organic material when planting is always a good idea. Gypsum is definitely a good idea if you know your soil has a higher salt content.
