Wow- I’m a big fan of the Larch and this one looks impressive to me. I must also say the pot is quite nice! Is that Jin near the apex? So cool

Very nice! I remember this tree of Grouper's well. It was always my favorite tree of his. Congratulations!

Did you just slip pot it then? The surface hasn't been disturbed at all.

I cut off about 1/2 of the roots, I left most of the top part alone because I like the moss lol and since larch likes a lot of water I didn’t think it would harm it by leaving most of the top moss.

Thanks ! I’m so lucky to own this tree, all the work was done by Will and I’m intending to leave it just like that lol. There’s several Jins and Sharis around the tree. Need to hit it with lime sulphur again soon.

Great tree!
Will's trees are hands down some of my favorite american bonsai, you are very fortunate! Very unique style.
If you have the chance, take some pics with a real camera so you don't get the fake blurry edges, we can't see the jins. I think this is an iphone thing, fake bokeh... I am not a fan.

Yes ! Once I get a chance I will put a background and take some better pics, these are just when I was outside earlier today.

Nice larch for sure...His Vine maple was my favorite. But...I like quirky...and it screamed that to me. Would love to see it as well. When you get around to sharing.

I am 43 years old lol. I am honor that you love my tree that much. Putting you in my will is not a problem as I want some one to take good care of my trees, it’s the logistic that’s an issue.

You are to kind...I am older, I'm 49. So a will may not make sense. 🙃... adoption also doesn't work. Also to old. But yes, I like this one. I'm glad I can enjoy it through images. I absolutely am THRILLED you have it. That we can watch you continue it on its journey. 🥰 I have always been able to enjoy another ones successes and blessings.

Thank you ! I have been looking at this pot for it which I think it’s perfect because the roots under the tree flare out all diff directions so it needs at least 18 inches all around .... only thing is it’s so expensive.... but big Tokoname pots are very hard to find and very expensive...... still debating.... calling blood and sperm bank tomorrow to see what’s the going rates these days...😂😂😂D9A7D0E6-A467-4BB1-B8D0-F339EB7E9549.png

Your larch has a spider web disease which need to be get rid soon or it will transfer to you entire collection. I have a place you can send to if you wish to save your collection.

You are wrong! That type of Larch disease can only be cured in a UK climate. I will be happy to care for it...
