This is my only larch. Collected about 4 years ago. It spent the first two years in a big pot putting on height and gaining strength. Two years ago, I cut the branches way back and wired them down, as they were growing nearly vertical. A year ago I repotted it into this ugly little pot and removed about 75% of the roots, jinned some branches, and tried to wire up a new leader.
I think I need to chop it off and wire up a new one, as it is not straight. I'm trying to keep it tall and with short branches to imitate real alpine conifers, rather than traditional bonsai styling. I will be re-wiring and further reducing foliage this year.
Any thoughts? Should I keep the tilt? Plan on repotting ont a slab with one or two other larch. Mostly just getting used to the species before trying to collect older stuff, but it's still been fun.Here it is without the tilt.
