My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Larix decidua (dwarf)

19 years ago

Hello folks,

I just bought a Larix decidua "Lanarck." I have been wanting this tree for a long time and finally have it. I hope you can help me make the most of it. My questions are these:

1. Should I plant it in a gigantic pot the first year and develop some good roots before putting in a permanent location?

2. Should I plant in full sun or part sun?

3. Should I acidify the soil a bit after it gets settled?

(My soil here in the Ohio Valley very slightly alkaline because of the limestone in the sub strata.)

Answers to these would be appreciated as well as any other advice you might offer.

Thanks,

Lainey
