Currently, all 250 Colorado Spruce saplings are planted in the ground, or in pots where they can be moved easily. Besides the trees we ordered, I planted 185 other trees, meaning 385 in total. Some of these were larger trees that had to be transplanted to a new location to survive. A large portion were small trees that were in our garden and on our lawn. To avoid the tiller and lawnmower, I moved them to pots were they can safely grow for a few years before being moved to the ground. All of the tree are being watered and weeded regularly.
