Several years ago, Dad did some logging on his property. He cut down a lodgepole pine that was crowding a western larch. When the pine fell away, he noticed that the larch had an unusual, weeping form. He told me that he wanted me to name it Evelyn's Find, after his friend Evelyn, who found the tree to be particularly delightful.
I was skeptical, as I mentioned in a previous post. I couldn't tell if the weeping habit was just due to having been shaded out by a larger tree. For the past several years, I've been on the fence about this one.
The other day, I happened to notice it. The light was fading, so a good picture wasn't really possible with my phone. I took the picture anyway. (I'll try getting a better one later.)
The branches gracefully weep, and have a spidery outline. This tree has some potential, and needs to be grafted and observed further.
I think it is time to propagate 'Evelyn's Find'
