Weeping European Larch
FamilyPinaceae
Larix decidua 'Pendula', also known as the weeping European larch, is a deciduous conifer with a weeping habit, cultivated for its flexible and sculptural silhouette, which varies depending on how it's trained. Its long, drooping branches are covered with soft green needles in tufts, which turn a superb golden color in the fall before falling off, revealing a highly decorative graphic framework in winter. It can be grafted onto a standard to form a plant cascade, or left to grow freely for a tiered and original effect, perfect for Japanese, naturalistic, or contemporary gardens. Very hardy and undemanding, the weeping larch thrives in well-drained soils, in full sun, and is resistant to cold, wind, and Quebec conditions.
