controversial larch
It is hard to believe. This larch has caused one of the most radical controversies on the IBC gallery. It was one of the reasons why I have left this inhospitable place. Those who had the big mouth then have fallen into oblivion since. Well, this larch is still around. If it continues like this I will even get it onto the Gingko Award. We'll see.

Hi
What is the trick to shorten larch needles?
Is it mainly the same principle as with pines?
Nils Arne,
it is similar to pines. Mostly one just waits long enough and eventually the needles will become shorter by themselves after many years. One also cuts back on feeding and somewhat on watering
