Japanese Larch is John's favorite tree for growing into bonsai. It grows quickly, backbuds well, has great bark, is extremely flexible, and has great fall color.
The Achilles heel is that it needs a cold winter to survive, sorry San Diego!
This tree has been root worked once in order to improve the root flare and give it a solid beginning to make a larger tree.
The trunk is about the thickness of a pencil.
