This is the last of the three larches that were de-wired last week to have new wire re-applied.
First a reminder of how it looked when the old wire was removed. Most of the primary branches are now more or less where I would like them to be, but the one on the bottom left still needs a little persuasion and the secondary branches which have extended also need a little refinement.
This is how it is looking at the moment after todays work.
I like this tree, it has a great nebari, nice trunk taper and movement and thin delicate branches.

Nice pot too Robert. Is it round or oval?
Thanks Ben, it’s a nice glazed oval by Walsall Ceramics. A lot of people wouldn’t consider a glazed pot with a larch but I think the colour works well and gives the composition a lift
Great tree, Robert. The pot works really well. It’s nice to see fat buds on larches at this time of year, to remind us that spring isn’t too far away!
Thanks Tim
Spring can’t come quick enough for me… Lol
I would look the loose the top 3 twigs and re use the ones underneath. They are of usable thickness and you would be able to rework the image significantly 🙂
(?)
Otherwise… Love it. I have one similar haha i need to tackle wih some wire 😉
Hi Bry
I’ve no plans to change this one at the moment but who can tell what might happen in the future.
I’ve got a sentimental attachment to this tree, it’s older than it looks in the pictures so any changes are likely to be made reluctantly
Respect that… 🙂
It seems like there are not many larches with good nebaris. This one has it.
If one wanted to buy it, how much would such a tree cost?
Hi Balkonski, I agree with you, this is a particularly good example of a larch bonsai. Not only does it have a good Newark but the taper and movement in the trunk are also very natural
As regards the cost of a tree like this then I would say it all depends on who you buy it from. I rate this tree quite highly and if I was to sell it, I’d be looking for about £500.00
£500.00 sounds a little low to me. In light of what was said above regarding the frequency of such trees. So… if you ask me, you can set a higher price. 😉
Yes I think your right. The truth is that you can ask whatever you want for a tree but whether it ever fetches that price is another matter. It depends very much on the local market
