Winter pruning/wiring of larch

Time to blog a bit:) been a long time, hoping to post some more progress this spring/summer.

Before:
After:


Larix Kaempferi early winter 2010 seedling

Winter image of the only surviving japanese larch from the harsh winter of 2010. Thought this one was dead, but it started showing enourmous vigour during last season. From 2cm to appr. 15 cm in one season. This larch came from my first sowing season in late winter 2009.

More Seedlings

Pinus Nigra (Austrian Pine) seedling from this years sowing project. (20 in total)

Sequiadendron Giganteum (American Redwood) seedling. (5-6 in total)
Larix Kaempferi (Japanese Larch) from last years sowing project. One germinated and also had the guts to outlive the harsh Norwegian winter in a tiny 1 inch pot with only Moler/Spaghnum moss in it. I guess it will be very hardy in years to come. Repotted this year. Three new seedlings of the same species germinated this spring after overwintering as seeds outside and germinating naturally.
