This small Larch was purchased as a seedling from Yves Létourneau in 2010.It was always cultivated in containers. 12 years later it becomes a shohin with its first ceramics. Year after year changes are incremental, almost noticeable. Another layer of cambium becomes xylem, another branch bifurcation increases entropy. Fissures appear on the bark. 12 years to build a tree. This is only the beginning of its journey.
