Hi Xavier, never get enough of your larches 😍😄. One idea about your cutting success rate: Putting them for 24 hours into water before sticking into soil worked for some of mine. Anyway yours are looking good so far. 👍 Fingers crossed and thumbs up 😄👍 Thank you 🙏 and happy 5100 🥳👍😘 Cheers 🙋♀️ Martina
That's a really nice tree.... You could probably try doing a ground layer to get the base you want..( I've never done it, at least not yet😅)... Great video 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Hi, Xavier! Love your larch videos! What's up with the yellow tips on your larger "cloud larch"? I have a larch showing similar yellow tips, but I don't know what made the tips turn yellow. Cheers from Norway
Nothing to worry about. It will be a combination of too much water and not enough fertiliser for me. We have also had rapid weather variations and many of my larches are heading into autumn colours. Thanks for the support
Very nice work. I quite like the gnarly trunk on your first larch - really showcases that yamadori heritage. Please see view @14:49. If you wanted to lighten the trunk, you could nibble away at the crotch (sorry - awful wording🙄) to delineate the two main trunk lines more. Either way, I love the tree as is. Your cloud larch has really improved over the years - fun project to watch.
I had the same thought; reduce the wood in the middle of the main split will give the base more prominence... but it's risky putting a wound into a conifer. I nearly lost my best tree when I vertically extended a small damaged spot on the trunk to look more natural. It did not heal up nicely. Maybe in time it will look great but it did more harm than good so far.
I think this year is the first time I've stood baack and seen the extent of growth on the pads for the cloud laarch. Amazing how it has doubled in size :)
