Description
A rare weeping form of the European Larch, Larix decidua ‘Puli’ is a breathtakingly beautiful conifer that when staked forms a narrow, waterfall-like silhouette clothed in clusters of soft-textured bright green needles maturing to a rich green. With the arrival of cooler temperatures in fall the foliage turns to a glowing yellow. Depending on how you to want to shape it with pruning, it might reach 8 to 10 feet tall and 3 to 6 feet wide. Easy to grow, Puli is fine choice as a dramatic accent tin small garden spaces, home foundation plantings, and Japanese and rock gardens in USDA Zones 3a-8b. Sure to be a conversation piece!
Landscape & Garden Uses
Because it makes such a statement in the landscape, we think the Puli Weeping European Larch is most effective when used as a specimen in small garden spaces or in pots, planters and other containers that can be situated on patios and around other outdoor sitting and living spaces. That said, two can be used to frame an entrance or three in a spaced grouping at 7 feet or more apart. A fine addition to an Asian themed garden or conifer or rock garden. Looks really nice around a garden pond. Make sure not to overcrowd this beauty with larger growing shrubs!
Growing Preferences
The Puli Weeping European Larch is easy to grow in most any moist but well-drained acidic soil of average fertility and full to mostly sun. As with so many other conifers, constantly soggy or waterlogged soil is problematic. Just keep in mind that whether growing in the ground or in pots, good drainage is essential. A little shade is tolerated however plants won’t be as full. Maintenance is minimal to none however responds well to pruning for shaping purposes. Any pruning is best done in summer so wounds will heal before winter. As with other conifers, avoid pruning beyond where there is no green growth.
