Since we have been having a Larch fest on the blog

I figured I would follow up my wife's thread with one of my own ..... you can read the whole post here

Awhile back we purchased a Larch from WeeTree ... it arrived in Feb and was allowed to grow...
this weekend I took after it with wire, pruners and the die grinder and gave it its first styling ...

It's not perfect .... and has a long way to go.... needs a new pot of course .... but I think it has potential.....

in the coming sessions the deadwood will be refined more to give it more depth and appeal ....

Cool--if you get bored you could graft roots at the conjuncture of the two trunks for a very nice composition--- but i like it as it is too.

There is some nebari buried in there... I have hopes that there is something interesting in that area.... good idea to add some roots there... feels a tiny bit off...

I have to confess... I wish I had taken a better photo of this tree... the light is harsh, and it's not conveying how sweet this tree is in real life. I am very fond of this tree, and really like what Eric has done with what is a complex piece of material. It'll be interesting to see what's under the soil next year when it gets repotted, and of course I know there's another smoking hot side to this tree if it ever loses the deadwood... but you don't know that. lol

I wonder if the massive amount of deadwood is putting any number of people off.... (no worries if it is)

lets see what people think of this side...

This is another possible change... to completely give up on the idea of having deadwood and use this wider image that I love just as much...... OR decide to put it in a round pot and enjoy it from both sides :p

You see that's the problem with wanting to sell trees... I can't conceptualize it, maybe you can, but I can't. lol

Well whatever happens, it'll be an interesting trip. I'd still like to see the other sides....

Hi All,
Just my humble opinion but I get a better feeling with the second presentation. It feels more mature for some reason. Very nice tree either way! :cool:
