I picked up this Larch from Jeff at Hidden Gardens (Chicagoland) in the winter of 2019. I dont recall the history. Not sure whether it was always container grown, but the movement and foliage struck a chord with me. It had some basic wiring in place when I picked it up.
Here is the tree in the Spring of 2018 as it was first flushing out. Notice all the fertilizer... not ideal.
I learned a great deal about larch this winter... after caring for mine for 3 years... and fertilizing the first flush is a no-no! I did a bunch of reading and listening to experts talk about larch, and I distilled all this information down into a newsletter article for our local club. The issue is attached, article on page 6, for those curious and brave enough to trust a no-name on Bonsai Nut!
