Looking for a tamarack Darlene?

Looking for a tamarack Darlene?

Not sure which variety of larch actually...but I like the soft needles. I plan on putting a weeping one eventually in the yard. But, I must admit...they appeal to me. I worry when fall comes I might wig out over foliage change. If it's natural foliage change or dead tree. That is the only thing keeping me on the ledge as to if I want to take the plunge. But, I think it will be worth it.

Ahhh. But when it changes color in the fall that's when they are really beautiful. I don't know much about European or Japanese larch but the American model is very cool. No worrying about wintering. Grows like it's angry. Easy to transplant or repot. Easy to collect. If you want one P.M. me and we'll see what can be done. I'll be probably digging close to 100 next spring from 1/2" to 4"to5" trunks.

Is the Tamarack the American variety?

Yes. And that's more than likely what Penelope is also.
