This ezo spruce, Pice jezoenis, was part of a trade about 15 years ago. I never thought that It should be good enough form me and left it alone. No one wanted to buy it either. In all these years it gained health and the bark looked quite mature. And also these are very rare as older trees. So David, my assistant asked me in late summer of 2005 whether he could work on it. Sure he could. Here the story until May 2007.
