Well done indeed. Seems you know pretty well where you're going to with this tree.
One small comment: The main direction of the tree is to the right, the top is pointing to the left. I think it should move to the right like the rest of the tree.

i didn't noticed that until now, don't you think it will look unbalanced if the top is leaning to the right.
i cheated a bid with the top branch on the right,it comes from behind.
I have to fix that when the top is spreading out with new growth.

When i bought the plant i felt a decent base of the trunk, for that price. I could not see it, so it revealed itself.

Yes - but I don't mean the complete top, just the upper part. Don't worry about it though, the tree looks good.

Little update, they are really sensetive of dieback and it has lost a lot of the needles. the good thing it is still making new growt. The needles need to be rinsed with water, after working on it. I have being told that the acid on our hands is partly the problem of the dieback. Just finished it and i'm pleased.

Cheers

That's a good looking tree, Orlando. Tell me more about this acid issue. I don't own any picea specimens anymore, but now I'm curious.
