Larix decidua 'Bingman' is a small, mounding dwarf selection of European larch with fine-textured branching and tiny light-green needles. It is not a vigorous grower. After 10 years of growth, a mature specimen will measure 12 inches (30 cm) tall and wide, an average annual growth rate approaching 1 inch (2.5 cm).
This cultivar originated as a witch's broom found in 1993 by Randy Dykstra and Chub Harper on a tree growing at the Al Bingman residence in Edgington, Illinois, USA. Aside from a few private collections in the midwest, it is unlikely to be easily if ever seen in the nursery trade.
