You're on! I'm going to try to get out there tomorrow since I have a box freed up. The smallest of my spruces didn't make it. All the needles went crispy and fell off! I think the cause was a poor root mass during collection. It was found growing completely in sand, and it only had a few tiny feeders. It was one of my only trees that had poor roots when I collected it. I think it dried out faster than it could move water and we had some nasty winds the last few days... I even built up a shelter for them with pallets.I look forward to seeing the larch you pull. It's cool seeing the pics you post, it looks a lot like home. Good to see others playing with trees in extreme climates.
The rest of my trees seem fine though *knocks on wood*, still flexible and green.
My larches are doing great. Here's a picture.
