The larch survived the year but wasn’t quite thriving. This yard has too much southern exposure — all day long. Portland had another “top five” sort of hot summers this year.
It put on just a little bit of growth extension, but not very much. I left it alone to recover after moderate root work in the repotting this year. I think I see where I’m going to remove the sacrificial top to provide more taper.
The good news is we are moving in February back to the neighborhood we used to live in. There’s a lot more afternoon shade in that location. I’ll wire this tree fully in late February, as usual.
