June 1, 2021Q.I Need Help Identifying My Tree
The house that I moved into almost 5 years ago had some very nicely landscaped areas, and I can tell they didn't really mind experiment and buying nice plants. There was not as much attention paid to mature sizes as there needed to be, so now I am faced with taking a few nice plants out. One that is growing into the soffets of the house is a tree like none that I recognize. It is about 20 feet tall, mostly slim in stature, and has a weeping form to the branches. The leaves are less than fingernail size and variegated. And I think it sets berries in the fall. Do you have any idea what I am about to take out? These picture are about 6 years ago, so it is well over the roof now.

Certified ExpertA.I did some searching and it may be Weeping Japanese Larch (Larix kaempferi 'Pendula'). The photo was small and blurred when enlarged, so I couldn't get a good closeup of the foliage. Hope this helps.
If it still has shoots going straight instead of weeping, those need to be removed or the whole tree could revert.

Clarkston WA 99403Q.Will The Top Of My Larch Tree Grow Back?
Deer rubbed and killed the top of my larch tree. The tree was about five feet tall now it's about two and a half feet. I made a cut and zip tied main tree to a heathy branch upwards. I am not sure if it will grow a new main trunk. Planted when it was six inches tall so I would like to keep it. What should I do to get a straight looking tree. I know it will not be good as new. Thanks Willliam

Certified ExpertA.Oh, I hate when that happens. Likely, it will still grow. You may need to stake the tree, and tie the new branch to make it stay straight. As far as the deer issue goes- This will be controlled by, either, repellents or physical barriers.
