Larix decidua ‘Pendula’

This is one of the most graceful conifirs. It is a birthday present from my daughter, and is in my garden about 4 years now.

Larix decidua ‘Puli’

This weeping larch is sipposed to have very lacy weeping look. Unfortunately, the plant I acquired last year was not top grafted. It will take a lot more training effort to make it look as good.

Larix kaempferi

Over the years, I have gradually lost all my Janapese larch except for one self-sown seedling. I suspect they do not like the wet feet in my hard clay soil.

Larix kaempferi ‘Pendula’

This plant started in my garden as a ‘landscape size’ specimen more than 13 years ago. Its overall shape has declined over the years because of over crowding. I have started to revitalize it the last couple of years removing a few crowding conifers. Hopefully, it will recover over the next few years.

Larix laricina ‘Blue Sparkler’

My Larix laricina ‘Blue Sparkler’ is still a baby. It is an interesting blue dwarf larch.

The unusual combination of rain water and hot temperature in summer of 2010 stimulated tremendous growth rate.
