The Fall of your third year you will do your final clean-up. Pruning etc and other preparation. You can collect now if you wish, but spring-time is better. Just before buds open is the optimum time for collection. Your tree should go into a training box for at least one or two seasons for acclimation and transition. During this time, refinement, wiring and finishing touches can be made. A five year plan for a collected Larch.
