Description
Larix decidua Pendula forms an irregular mounded deciduous conifer with strongly weeping branches and soft green needle clusters. Its foliage turns yellow, orange, and red before falling to reveal a sculptural winter framework.
A trained plant makes a distinctive small garden specimen, while unstaked growth can spread as ground cover. Grow it in full sun in moist, well-drained, slightly acidic soil, and prune lightly in midsummer when shaping is needed.
