Thx for the videos! Going to be ordering from you once it cool down.

[@CR-di1lg]

Really nice plants and cool to see you do your own grafting. You love of the plants shows off too!

[@burklandgardens643]

Thanks, and yes we do enjoy grafting!

[@fallofmanbrand]

Loved It!

[@rabeabrok8323]

Thank you very much, indeed.

[@matshagstrom9839]

thank you for sharing all of your thoughts and knowledge. i would love to see nurserymen and women place the grafts at the root line. those high grafts eliminate the potential to every becoming a world class bonsai. i started grafting my own trees so i can get the graft union at or below the ground level. i know i would pay twice the price if not more for a tree that's grafted much lower. love everything else that you are doing. it's amazing how much quality material comes from Oregon nurseries. keep up the good work.

Thanks for the video-I’m a huge fan of all things deciduous conifer and particularly enjoy collecting Larix. I did notice at right around 7:00 of the video showing the first larger specimen Larix decidua ‘Pendula’-this specimen looks more like a weeping variety of Taxodium distichum, perhaps ‘Falling Water’ or ‘Cascade Falls’? Just an FYI. Thoughts? :)

I just bought 2 very small Larix

[@garfordstew5958]

Good day to you my friend and I really enjoy your program. I like the Debora waxman and how it looks shape but I would like one that crows and look like the Debora waxman. I would rather it to be a height of 30 feet and 20 feet wide spreading...just to add to my garden for shade, any suggestion...

[@guerillagardener8518]

Hi Gil! Thanks for ett the great vid! In what medium do you grow the Japanese larch? Some say it cannot grow in peat but still cannot have to high ph. I just replanted one in 70% peat and 30% biochar. What is your take on this? Regards Guerilla Gardener

[@burklandgardens643]

I grow my Larches in the same media as all other conifers. Peat or peat moss is too fine. It holds too much water and if it dries out and it is hard to get wet again. I am not sure about biochar. Personally I wouldn't use it in my conifer media mix. Douglas Fir, Hemlock, and Pine bark are the preferred media choices, with pumice and perlite being good choices as an additive to the mix.

Hi I have a larix kaempferi pendula that is loosing vitality. I would like to use some of the remaining growth to propagate some new trees… can you recommend a source for larix rootstock ? Thank you Ken Davis, Middlesex, VT

[@kewel0657]

how can i buy these seeds?

[@vinco2livecom]

Are you selling tamarack?

[@babzwhistle7967]

I’m going to be that guy who points out the difference between American Larch and Tamarack. This is an unfortunate and pervasive conflation. I live near old growth Tamarack groves and these tall, mature trees have tiny cones, everyone of them. American larch have much larger cones than true Tamaracks do. The cone of American larch can be crushed between a persons thumbs. The cone of a Fully mature Tamarack can be crushed between a persons pinky fingers. They are tiny, the smallest cones in the conifer family. If your “Tamarack” bonsai does not have extremely tiny cones, you have an often conflated A.Larix, not a true Tamarack. Seek out true Tamaracks if tiny cones are what you are after. ;) (Wikipedia will not make this distinction, only experience in a Tamarack grove will)

nice info but why are you angry?

@@0verfiend I’m not angry but why do you feel compelled to speak for my emotions?

[@0verfiend]

@Babz Whistle you prefaced it wit, “i’m going to be that guy”. that implies you assume we will find your post annoying, irrelevant, redundant, or pedantic etc. yet you said it anyway. so you seemingly expected my reaction, and sought it out. is this a fair take?

[@raphlvlogs271]

cultivars are like races within the same species.

notice how race is only applied to humans.
