Rusty larch_Larix decidua
I have this larch in my collection from 2013 I guess. We had met few years before the collection in fact neverthless I was more focused on the deciduous trees at that time for one and I did not like the strange looking elbow like branch near the top of the tree. Luckily that did not prevent me to visit this tree any time I was in the area. Still it has taken me few years to realise that the elbow like branch is something special. Something similar to what makes monumental larches in Switzerland so special.
Collected: Central Bohemia 2013
Height: 43 cm
Pot: Tokoname

I have added the moss on the surface only this spring with the hope to get some new roots to improve the heavily one sided nebari a bit. Very happy indeed for this progress. Right now the moss is back on its place and we will decide next steps in the spring.
The pot is a little bit oversized - surely for a kazari. But it has the right size to keep this thirsty creature happy.
AHoJ Vláďo, pekný stromček. Puky vyzerajú akoby sa išli už už-zobudiť :)
ReplyDeleteDrž sa !
Mach hodne pomáha. Super stromček. Závidím tú šišku, ja som so svojím smrekovcom ešte nemal to šťastie. Stay safe. 😉👍
ReplyDeleteAhojte chalani.
ReplyDeleteTy pupeny se opravdu začínají "probouzet". Snad se to zastaví.
Mech je skvělej pomocník. Většinou jsem používal hlavně rašeliník (Sphagnum ), ale po testech v letošním roce budu víc používat pro zapěstované stromky "klasické" zamechování. Subjektivně vypadají kořeny pod klasickým zamechováním lépe. Je jich sice méně, ale více se větví. Alespoň se mi to tak zatím jeví. Těch kořenů u tohohle modřínu je sice opravdu hodně, ale moc se mi nelíbí - jsou vysoukaný a vypadají jako dráty.
Dávejte na sebe bacha a vyhejbejte se nemocem.
I love larches. I have one too. Good luck then :).
ReplyDeleteLarches are great and rewarding trees...
DeleteTake care, Bartlomiej.
You'll never get good nebari this way. The only way is to pot it deeper and grow long thick roots.
ReplyDeleteI would prefer to deal with someone who is not affraid to present his/her/its/ ( sorry don't know how to address the other 35 genders ) views with true profile.
