Yes, the larch foliage is very soft and appealing (I see yours is a dwarf). My 18 yr old Japanese larch grew like a rocket at first, but has slowed consideranly w/some lower branch death. Guess about 35-40 ft now, but last couple yrs only a ft or so growth a year. Soil is not the best draining & perhaps an issue. Nearby Dunkeld larch grew similarly, but then died from top-down after 10 yrs for no obvious reason.

i loved that -plant.. i liked pronouncing it like tim conway in the old carol burnett show ... volterdingen .. lol..

anyway.. i researched it.. and the guy who registered it nursery in wolterdingen road.. go figure.. the cross street was the name of another larix i think ...

anyway again... mine got to about a 3 foot ball.. very congested.. and i never cleaned it out.. and i believe it eventually died ... i was bummed...

Mmm, short-lived garden conifers is a common theme here. I'm hoping mine stays put, and I'll do my best to keep it cleaned out. Does its habit and the fact it's deciduous contribute to excess needle accumulation?

YES , very much so ! after ken warned about that , I cleaned in spring....LOADED with stuff

Is it just me or do I see more posts/comments when I log in. I see no reason at all why the additional posts/comments could not be shown to non-members <shrug emoji>

It happens in this and other threads.

Ontario, I have no idea what you’re referring to.

If I am logged out of Houzz and look at this thread, I see the original post and the first 4 comments. If I am logged in, I see the additional 3 comments. After posting this comment, I will see the additional 4 comments, including this one (my own). If I log out of Houzz, and look at this thread again, I will again see only the original post and the first 4 comments.

As I said earlier, this happens to me in this and other threads too. I wonder if this happens to others too.

yes.. it started about a month ago or so ...

you see all that you saw.. last time you were signed in ...

i just start by signing in ..

It's the reason I created my new profile.

I thought I could just lurk without one.

I soon realized; everything didn't show up as normal.

I login every time too.

Ah, OK, I'm not alone. I thought I'd bring this up as it can lead to misleading situations.

Sorry @maackia I did not want to hijack your thread.

A good place to bring this up, and other irrelevant discussions that are good questions, is in the Using Houzz Forum.

Occasionally there are Houzz IT people that view those posts and sometimes do something about them. And it doesn't hurt to keep them informed.
