Mallsai Pseudolarix...

Hello all

This Pseudolarix is obviously not the most beautiful tree, but it has some sentimental value to me, because it was one of my first trees and it was offered to me by my wife who just loves it.

Greetings
Mário

Mario,
For a "mallsai" you have a nice tree. There is potential with this one!

Hello Todd

Glad you liked it.
Despite the "Mallsai" look of the tree, this is actually a project that gives me a lot of pleasure due to the sentimental value this tree has to me.
I´m trying to improve over time without rushing it. Next year i´m going to take care of the exposed roots, some of them are dead and i´m going to give it a big prune to better define the ramification and the pads.
It´s a never ending work...

Found a photo of the tree when my wife gave it to me a couple of years ago.
Some diference don´t you think?

Greetings
Mário





PS: I don´t know why but i can´t get the photo straight.

I like this little tree and i think its great that your wife gave it to you. Also i like the species, usually when you get a "malsai" it is some funny looking juniper.

You did a nice job styling it.

Hi Mario

How is this pseudolarix going?

Hello Rui

This Pseudolaix is doing fine, it was repoted this year, but i used the same pot.
I also gave it a big prune last Winter to define the folliage pads and allow the light to reach the inner branching.
I´ll post some pictures tomorrow.

Abraço

Still waiting Mário..
