Jim and Don did a really nice job with this one, and I’m hoping they’ll have more projects to share in the future.
Up here in New England, Dwarf Alberta Spruces will grow big, if left in place long enough. They’re sold as adorable little plants, and many people (homeowners in particular, but I’ve seen designers make this mistake, too) plant them with the assumption that ‘dwarf’ means ‘will stay small forever’. Big specimens — those whose height is measured in teens of feet — can look wonderful, given the right spot.

Getting those that big and keeping the spider mites from it is not easy. Obviously worth the effort to the site and the school.
It also looks like you will be getting more of these stories. I will have to look and see what pics I have
Thanks
