Keith Sedgewick (December 1992) This is one bonsai that I've had the longest. I planted this grove of 5 Dwarf Alberta Spruce in 1979. The tree on the right is the one I replaced. My dear wife, bless her little heart, let them dry out when I was in Phoenix two years ago with my #2 son to a basketball tournament. This is the only tree that died. I replaced it and it will take several years to fill in, but it is coming along nicely.
