Larix kaempferi 'Stiff Weeping'

How unusual, how big will it get?

Dawnsaunt - Most of the new growth comes from the ends of the main branches which as you can see cascade down to the ground, so the new shoots end up growing horizontally along the ground, I cut these off every year. Puts on little or no height.

Oh, I see, thanks for the explanation. Dawn

This, to me, looks like someething out of Dr Who or suchlike, but I can't help keep looking at it - it's fascinating, and, I really like it.

Well, funny you should say that David .... dont mean to be rude Bluespruce but it reminds me of "IT" from the Adams Family, lol. But much more beautiful of course ;-)

So if you wanted a taller specimen you would have to use a larger standard. I'm assuming its a broom graft onto a rootstock, would it be another larch? the spreading habit could be a really interesting feature on a hillside, perhaps?

Lori - Yes if you wanted a taller specimen it would be better to graft onto a taller compatible rootstock (larch), not sure how effective allowing the horizontal growth to develop would be.
