Would any one be interested in this Larch? I tried for about 10 years to get it to cling to a rock and it just didn't want to. Now it is up for an exposed root style. It is about 22" and the trunk approximately 1 3/4". I can give more photos and details if someone is interested.

Nice tree...if only I can grow them here.

If you want to really have it grow on stone/rock, watch some video where they make stone out of concrete right in the tree roots. Done right, you cannot tell it is concrete. Just an option to consider.
 
Nice tree. Have you thought about reducing it to that last bend at the top? I think it would make the tree better, but I have not seen in leaf. Just my thoughts.

I've done nothing but clip and grow and a little bit of using string to pull branches down last year. I I do not sell it I will pull it out of the pot, bring the roots closer together, work a bit on where I split some roots years back, and wire the tree.
