New spruce

This is a Colorado Blöue Spruce, Picea pungens. It is used as garden and park tree around the world and is called "Blue Fir Tree" in most languages. The foliage is actually quite blue. This one is probably around 500 years old or older. A European spruce (Norway spruce) was found in Sweden recently which is 9,500 years old. So spruces can become TWICE as old as Bristelcone PInes (Pinus arsitata). Who would have thought that ? Anyway, age is not so important. But character is and it often comes with age. The chaarcter of this deadwood is unique. I have not seen anything just like this before. I love this tree. It will be quite elegant. It was collected two years ago and appears to clearly have made it. I am happy.
