Thanks Jeff, I will check the nebari. I just had a little dig to make sure it didn't have inverse taper but didn't venture deep enough. I might go back and get a bigger one too as they had thicker trunks. Will leave the repot until later as the greenhouse is full of maples that i'm too scared to leave outside until the weather warms.Im assuming youre in the UK Nick, be careful if you repot as well, this cold snap could set it back or kill it if you do rootwork and leave it outside. If you decide to go for it, mulch it in or put in greenhouse or similar. Repotting late Summer / early Autumn also work for Larch, new roots can then harden up before frosts. Personally I would consider ground layering it, nebari on bought larch can be non existent.
you know, there is a point where thats not true anymore..But... I'm also a novice....
It's called Rocky mountain Nurseries in Somerset. They have double the thickeness for £28 too. I'm thinking I should have been more bold!Where are you finding larches that big for 12 quid!?
My local nurseries are wanting £10+ for ones no thicker than a Sharpie.
Can't offer any information I'm afraid. I only have a couple young ones that are being grown out, one's throwing out new shoots and the others still asleep.
