Second year development of a christmas-tree bonsai | Maintenance work

In early 2023 I created a bonsai out of a christmas tree (Picea gauca conica bonsai). Time for unwiring my christmas tree bonsai, pruning back the growth on my Picea bonsai needle-plucking and rewiring. Typical work for the second year development of a picea bonsai.
