Progression of a collected Larch

[mattspinniken]

I collected this tree in 2015, there is a photo of it from 2016. I spent a lot of time wondering if I should keep the left "fork" or the right "fork". As you can see by the pictures I went with the right which was against the majority of the recommendations I got on bonsainut. I think the left could have turned out nice as well. I changed the angle and repotted it this spring. Larch look so bright and beautiful this time of year.

Nice. It needs a pot now though.

I like your choice.

Haha if you look close it’s there. This one is even cracked.

We really should get together sometime. Next time I think I'm going that way I'll p.m. you for a number so I can call and make it happen.
I'll show you some Scots pine areas over by Mancelona. I think there's a place by Kalkaska too. I'll need to wrack my brain.

We will!
Who knows maybe I'll find some on the way and ask for permission.

Maybe one day I’ll talk you into loving you some White Cedar. .

It will need to be a long talk.
And there should be a couple hinoki cypress nearby for grafting donations.
