Nice Larch?

thanks i love this part of the year when the trees are bear bones. it gives me the opportunity to see the flaws in the tree and make plans to correct those flaws

heres another larch

The larch is better in the winter season, wonderful bark that breaks branching and very rustic.   

Best regards , Daniel   

ricky nice larch its funny the trunk line on your looks just like mine make me think what in nature caused that

this larch im so excited about in the spring it goes into a bonsai pot

It's larch season. Only deciduous tree I have that's worth showing bare-a-- naked.



American larch collected north of the St. Lawrence River 2003. Purchased from Dave Easterbrook in 2007. One trunk from Herkimer County, NY added in 2009. Pot by Nick Lenz. Stand from Jim's Woodworks. Accent plant is dwarf river rush. It grows in wet places like the larch. Accent pot was purchased at the National, but I didn't get the potter's name.

bonsaisr that tree is really nice and will only get better when the bark shows more maturity

Thanks. As the saying goes, I should live so long. Meanwhile, I enjoy it as is. It doesn't look bad in the summer either, as long as I pinch constantly. Next year I'm going to try 0-10-10 April-June or July. Unfortunately, its peak fall color only lasted a week and I didn't get a chance to take a picture.

First raft style I have seen accomplished anywhere!

I hope everyone has a healthy and prosperous new year.

Some really great trees there but I was beginning to think it was a Larch only thread!

Just to help mix it up a bit more here's a pic of my large twin trunk Field Maple without its leaves.

By the way Lordy, you don't say what your trees are.

Elm? Zelkova?

My apologies. The first is Japanese Hornbeam, second is Zelcova, and the overhead photo is of a previously troubled Chinese Elm.

Thanks Lordy, very nice too!

thats a nice one richard its kind of funny how you said this looked like a larch thread only at first it did. that was not my intention i only grow larch juniper and pines so with that being said larches are the only ones in my collection that drop there foliage during winter i love the look for trees without their foliage. i've heard the thought of someone putting a show together during the winter with only trees that drop there foliage

Bare Bones.....South Florida Style !!

The photo should say "Bare Bones"....South Florida Style !
