The larch with the ax is doing very well. This year it has lots of flowers. The red ones are female and will bring a cone, the yellow ones are male. I leave cones on larches as I find them decorative. The little branchlet with the cone will become weak though and possibly die. Well, there are hundreds of branchlets on this larch by now.
