Golden Larch Pseudolarix Bonsai Tree Care

New shoots will sprout out of individual leaves. These can be pinched with your finders or using scissors, back to one set of new leaves. If you want to use these new shoots to make new branches, let them grow and then wire them after they have lengthened and harden off. You can prune off new shoots which grow downwards or back in toward the trunk. You can also prune the tree in winter, where branches can be cut back to buds which will be visible.
Wiring can be done at any time. It may be easier to wire when the tree has no leaves and is dormant.
Tree for some time – a year is not uncommon, though do keep an eye on the wires to ensure that they are not biting into the trunk.
As this tree is ericaceous, a feed with some ericaceous fertiliser once in a while may be helpful. We use Naruko slow release fertiliser as the main fertiliser from these trees, applying this three times per year, in spring, early summer and late summer.
