			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As promised, here&#8217;s the final &#8216;potted&#8217; photo of that Ezo spruce clump styling in yesterday&#8217;s post&#8212;</p>
<p>Two things I&#8217;ll do in the future is move the left trunk further to the right as it&#8217;s a bit too balanced where it is. Also I&#8217;ll add a clump of broadleaf evergreen, probably a small-leafed azalea, to the back left. It looks a bit sterile as is.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-256" title="sprucefinal1" src="http://crataegus.files.wordpress.com/2009/02/sprucefinal1.jpg?w=500&#038;h=666" alt="sprucefinal1" width="500" height="666" /></p>
<p>I have the tree on a wooden board, which will be temporary support for about two years. After that time, I hope the roots will be solid enough (with some interior bamboo shafts) to support the entire kokedama and be able to be placed directly on a bench&#8212;sans pot or slab. </p>
<p>Best,</p>
<p>Michael</p>
