Botanical nameLarix decidua 'Horstmann's Recurva'

Larix decidua ‘Horstmann’s Recurva’, also known as European Larch ‘Horstmann’s Recurva’, is a deciduous conifer with a unique weeping habit, recognized for its flexible, cascading, and irregular silhouette, almost sculptural in appearance. Its arched and twisted branches, covered with fine, soft green needles, create a striking natural movement in the garden. In autumn, the foliage turns bright golden yellow before falling, revealing a decorative winter structure. This larch is very well suited for cultivation as a standalone specimen, on a standard, or left to grow naturally, depending on the desired effect. Very hardy, easy to grow, and undemanding, it is perfectly adapted to well-drained soils and to graphic or naturalistic landscaping in Quebec.
