Spring color doesn’t get any better than the new growth on a deciduous conifer.  As the needles emerge they are a bright clear lime green. In the fall they turn a golden yellow and drop to the ground.  This tree is a perfect specimen for a small garden bed and will display an interesting shape even with the needles gone in winter.  So rebellious, a deciduous conifer!  What’s next….. flowers?  It really is amazing the variety of colors that so many conifers come in.  Blue, yellow and all kinds of green.  The weeping larch has a lovely cascading habit.  The photo below shows it trained on a trellis up against a house, very impressive.  This is a tree worth remembering.
