Thanks for the larch info. Is rainwater on the trunk risky?

I am not sure why the anger. You got exactly what you ordered. A young larch. Yes, it has some marks from wire. This is normal. A plant needs to grow girth for the plant to set in its new shape, and this leaves marks. In commercial setting it is not worth wiring 2-3 times so they leave the wire on longer.

Your plant is completely ok with dealing with the outside weather so don't worry about rain.

Thanks but im Not angry Küste disapointed . Thanks for all thé explanations Guys .

I had another tree a few years ago, here are the photos . I bought him in this healtcondition. I repotted him because the roots were over 62cm in a 15cm pot .. and he died. I was told it was rotten .. that why i ask today on the one I just bought .. but now I have a doubt ..Good question, is it a podocarpus or a larch ?? lol was ist rellay rotten... Dont thnk so now..

Repotting larch when in full leaf will kill it.

You show a larch with damage low on the trunk; The tree has long since the damage was done started to repair. On the pictures a clear roll of callus-based new bark can be seen. THe spot on the trunk is not what killed it. Improper repotting may have killed it.

thank you very much for this advice I understand better. Did you accept à kiss ? Tell me yes...

Il have never had a plant injured this much .. and apparently I have been bad advised in the past apparently lol.

I take this opportunity ( Not again New Post ) to ask for information on a pre-bonsai. (No problem for 3 years) This Juniperus( BLUE stricta ) has weak needles (but good News buds See pics ) and are falling off. I gave potassium supplement but no effect, what does it need to avoid this massive loss of needles or ist IT circle of Life lol ? Yellow or weak Green or brown
New eyes transplanted so i See better now lol. He Had good exposure conditions/ substrat pouzzolana/akadama

Can you provide us with a picture of the entire tree?

Please dont laugh . I let him grow alone sometime like he want ..

I just bought this larch it's not repotting season but look at its photos. Is the white frost due to the Beast? and what is it like? Friendly? where then are the normal fungi From the tree?
In summary what should I do?

Why don't you just STOP FIDDLING with your tree?
Roots seem very healthy, and the white stuff are mychorrizea, the best friends of your roots.
Take the snail out of the pot.
Wait to repot in the Spring.
Think about a slightly bigger pot.
Think about a slightly better pot.

I am reminded of a friend fishing who kept pulling his hook out of the water to see if he had caught anything and if the bait was still there. "Ron, you can't fish fast."

Same with bonsais. Let it grow. Right now in the northern hemisphere all you should do is water it, fertilize once a week, and read up on how to take care of it this winter and next spring.

Moooom.?
Yes what ?

Bad son, you're a bad son.
Aouch mom stop hurting me ilikeit.

Yes thanks ( )i wasnt 100% sure.for.mychorizzea coz of the snail

Im more worried for the snail , moving from china ...

Spring repot = detangle roots or i let them so ? Because of mychorizzea... *:*

[strike]I know you like me anyway[/strike]

Yvan mann that i like&love , Im already reading what I can find on this tree and find out how to heat / buy an ecological greenhouse on a balcony just to avoid the frost temperature. Not easy !I
