If these are to be sold as trees I would keep as low a branching as possible. If they are to be cut for Christmas it won't matter if they are on a leg. Large specimens of ornamental trees can be hard to move, in two senses of the phrase. Do you have a market identified for 12' blue spruces?
thank you Ron...i live near a resort...and people who build new homes here want to have instant forest in their yards
