The easiest way to acquire spruce trees is to find small spruce, one inch to three feet tall, and transplant them. Use seedlings on your property or ask for permission to take them from another landowner. However, if you would like to grow spruce from seeds, follow the steps below. Collect seed from the site where you are going to plant or from an area with the same growing conditions and of similar elevation. Information on planting and caring for seedlings and trees is available from the Division of Forestry.
您想在您的土地上长一棵云杉树，最简单的方法是移植一棵一英寸到三英尺高的小云杉幼苗。如果在您自己的土地上有幼苗那当然最好，移植到你挑选的位置就可以了。也可以从熟人那里要幼苗。没有幼苗的话，可以用云杉种子来发育出云杉。怎么发育呢？首先在你附近的区域采集种子。
1. During the first or second week of Septem- ber, gather new cones and place them in a paper bag. Let them dry in the bag for one to two months -- until the cones open and the seeds fall out of the cone when the bag is shaken.
1、在九月的第一周或第二周，收集新的球果并将它们放入纸袋中。让它们在袋子里干燥一到两个月——直到锥体打开，摇动袋子时种子从锥体中掉出来。
2. Store the dry seed in a sealed plastic bag in a freezer.
2、将干燥的种子放入密封的塑料袋中，放入冰箱。
3. About April 1, soak seeds in water until they are saturated — about 24 hours.
3、大约四月一日，将种子浸泡在水中大约 24 小时直到它们湿透。
4. Place seeds in a wet paper towel inside a sealed plastic bag and put in the refrigerator — not the freezer — for about six weeks.
4、将种子放在密封塑料袋内的湿纸巾中，然后放入冰箱（而不是冰柜）约六周。
5. Remove seeds from the bag and put them in a shallow dish with water just covering the bottom. Seeds should be moist but not covered by water. Seal the dish with plastic wrap to maintain moisture.
5、从袋子里取出种子，放入浅盘中，水刚好没过底部。 种子应该是湿润的，但不要被水覆盖。 用保鲜膜密封盘子以保持水分。
6. Watch for seed to germinate. Germination will begin in about five days and continue for up to 20 days.
6、观察种子是否发芽。 发芽将在大约五天后开始，并持续长达 20 天。
7. Use tweezers to place the germinated seeds in two-gallon pots of soil. Cover with 1 /4 inch of coarse sand or finely crushed rock. Do not cover seed with soil.
7、用镊子将发芽的种子放入两加仑的盆中。 用 1 /4 英寸厚的粗沙或细碎的岩石覆盖。 不要用土壤覆盖种子。
8. Place potted seedlings near a window and water twice daily.
8、将盆栽幼苗放在窗边，每天浇两次水。
9. When seedlings are about one inch tall, begin to fertilize twice a week using a balanced fertilizer. For a 20-20-20 fertilizer, use one teaspoon of fertilizer per gallon of water or follow directions on the container. Apply to saturate the soil. Wash the foliage with clean water after fertilizing. In mid- July, switch to a low nitrogen fertilizer, such as 8-32-16, or stop applying fertilizer. Please note that fertilizer recommendations for seedlings are different from those for trees. Applying too much fertilizer can damage or kill seedlings.
9、当幼苗高约一英寸时，开始每周施两次平衡肥。 对于 20-20-20 肥料，每加仑水使用一茶匙肥料或按照容器上的说明进行操作。 适用于饱和土壤。 施肥后用清水洗净叶面。 7月中旬改施8-32-16等低氮肥，或停施肥料。 请注意，幼苗的施肥建议与树木的施肥建议不同。 施用过多的肥料会损坏或杀死幼苗。
10. In the summer, and after seedlings are at least one inch tall, they can be moved outside. Harden off seedlings as other garden plants by placing in a shady spot out of the wind and gradually increasing their time outdoors.
10、夏季，等苗高一寸以上后，即可移出室外。 通过将幼苗放在避风的阴凉处并逐渐增加它们在户外的时间，可以像其他园林植物一样使幼苗变硬。
11. Seedlings should be left outdoors over winter. In the fall, bury pots level with the soil where they will receive snow cover.
11、幼苗应在室外过冬。 在秋天，将花盆埋在与土壤齐平的地方，在那里它们将被雪覆盖。
12. Seedlings can be planted out when they are 10 to 12 inches high.
12、苗高10-12寸时即可出苗。
