Description
Strongly weeping branches give Larix decidua Puli a narrow, cascading outline. The light green needles turn golden yellow in autumn, then fall to reveal the fine branch structure.
Stake a leader to establish height, or leave the plant unstaked so it spreads as ground cover. Grow it in full sun in deep, moist but well-drained acid or neutral soil.
