    I have a 31 year old Colorado Blue Spruce that a planted as a young boy at my Mother's house. I would love to get some cuttings or seedlings started for my home now, but I have no idea how to get started. Help!

    These are grown from seed or grafted. Seedlings vary. If you want a clone of the tree, it will have to be grafted.

    I've seen the user name Ron B before.

    Hello Ron B.

    Good luck Dale Bob, with the tree.

    I've seen a few conifers layer roots into moist mulch before. I wonder if it's possible to do with a low limb, or with a bag over a twig.

    Western red cedar for sure - spruce, I'm not sure.
