The story of this tree

Elegance and simplicity: this tree is lines and curves, nothing else. The species adds the rest. Red flowers on the bare branches in winter, before the leaves appear. Silver-grey bark. In autumn, scented fruit that signals the season, the quince you see in the photos.

The wood is flexible and bends easily, even on old branches, so the design is still open.

What I would do next

Build a dense, ramified canopy. That is what will lift this tree most, together with everything the species does on its own through the year.

Feed

Feed regularly through the growing season, easing off during peak bloom.

Repot

Every 2–3 years in early spring, after flowering, before strong growth.

Soil

Neutral to slightly acidic, free-draining.

Prune

Prune selectively after the main flush; mind the thorns when wiring.

1-to-1 Consultation

otreblaidur ★★★★★ eBay · Translated from Italian

The courier was late, but the plant is healthy, thanks also to the excellent packaging. A promising larch with a good line and already good foliage. A vaguely literati style that can be accentuated. It deserves a proper pot. Very satisfied.

FAQs

How is a specimen shipped?

In its pot, with the soil secured and the tree braced inside a rigid box. Delivery across the EU is included in the price. We ship Monday to Wednesday so the tree never spends a weekend in a depot. You can also collect it at our nursery in Merate.

Is this the exact tree I will receive?

Yes. Every specimen is photographed after its last major styling work and you receive that tree, in that pot. If anything changes before it ships (a branch removed, a repot), we update the photos first.

When is the best time to receive it?

Any time of year. In the hottest weeks of summer we may hold a shipment for a few days. A tree arriving in winter should go straight to a sheltered spot outdoors, not into a heated room.

When does it flower?

In winter and early spring, on the bare branches before the leaves open. Keep it outdoors in winter: it needs the cold to flower.

Will it keep the fruit?

The fruit drops on its own in late autumn or can be removed. Fruiting is not every year on a young tree and depends on pollination.
