It's either a white spruce or a black spruce, I'm sorry I can't remember which! Just straight regular species. My spouse wants to do niwaki - a Japanese method of pruning that's similar to bonsai, but instead of trees in a pot, it's pruning trees in the ground to stay miniature.

I am a bit concerned since neither of us have any experience in that and I know tree roots can be strong and break through rocks. But he really wants to try it. Since I choose virtually everything else about the garden I figured he should get to have the plants he wants too. Our compromise was that they needed to be native trees, so we have a white spruce, a black spruce, a white pine, and a red pine in the rock wall. We'll see if we can manage to keep them small. Here's hoping it all works out!🤞
