200. Tree # 200S148. Species: Black Hills spruce. Estimated age: 100 years. Collected 6/2019. Price: $825. Estimated shipping: $185. Comments: A cool old spruce in a Dale Cochoy pot with BH spruce branches impressed into the clay. Some wire marks, Eeek!, on the upper part that still need to grow in.

I've heard that the arches in a medeival cathedral are meant to feel like a forest arching overhead. This is one we got to go into in Belgium. I tried, but I didn't feel like I was in a forest. But it was inspiring.
