Why Larch Makes a Great Bonsai:

• Aesthetic Appeal: Larch bonsai have a naturally graceful and refined appearance, with delicate needles and a beautiful, often elegant trunk that adds character.
• Seasonal Beauty: Larches offer year-round visual interest, from fresh green needles in spring and summer to stunning golden hues in autumn, and bare branches that highlight the tree’s form in winter.
• Little Cones: In addition to their needle transformation, larch trees produce charming little cones. These cones start as reddish or pinkish buds, maturing into small, woody cones that add a unique texture and visual interest to the bonsai.
• Adaptability: Larches are hardy trees, well-suited to various climates, making them robust and resilient bonsai specimens.

Care for Larch Bonsai:

• Location: Larch bonsai thrive best outdoors in full sun, which promotes strong growth and vibrant needle color.
• Watering: These trees prefer consistently moist soil, but they should not be waterlogged. Regular watering is essential, especially during the growing season.
• Pruning: Prune regularly to maintain shape and encourage a dense, compact form. Pinching back new growth helps control size and improve branching.
• Wiring: Wiring can be done to shape the branches, but it’s best performed in late winter or early spring before new growth starts.
• Repotting: Repot every 2-3 years in early spring, using well-draining soil to prevent root rot.
• Feeding: We recommend feeding with a bonsai fertiliser weekly throughout the spring, summer and autumn.

Seasonal Colour:

Larch bonsai are renowned for their seasonal colour transformation. In spring, the tree bursts with soft, light green needles that mature into a lush, deeper green in summer. As autumn approaches, the needles transition to a brilliant yellow or golden colour. Thus, creating a stunning display before they fall, leaving the tree’s intricate branch structure visible in winter. This dynamic change, along with the appearance of its charming little cones, makes the larch bonsai a captivating addition to any bonsai collection.
