I agree with Henrik. Your larches are ready to be wired. As with all wired trees,
one has to be careful not to skin the bark or break branches when placing them. I
just finished wiring my larches (L. laricina) and they are, or were, in the stage you
describe.

Wire before it leafes out it is much easier. If the buds are about to
pop, of course you have to be careful not to damage them. I have not
found the bark to be "extremely sensetive" with my little experience of
larch (Larix decidua, European larch).

Wire now or wait a few weeks?
