Larix kaempferi 'Diana'
We're sorry, this plant is currently out of stock! New specimens will be available in late autumn 2010. Please email us at sales@bluebellnursery.com or telephone us on (01530) 413700 to order in advance.Description
Lovely, upright, contorted form of Japanese larch. The curiously twisted branches of Larix kaempferi 'Diana' are a striking winter feature and equally beautiful in summer when they are covered with the apple-green foliage which turns a soft-yellow in autumn.
The wonderful corkscrew like growth makes this an appealing specimen tree for a larger garden or with careful pruning it can be kept as a small, very interesting ornamental shrub!
