Japanese Larch, Larix kaempferi

We have a large tamarack larch, Larix laricina, at the end of one of our gardens. It's about 80 feet tall and straight as an arrow. Larch are deciduous conifers, meaning they shed their needle-like leaves in the Fall and start anew in Spring.

The Japanese Larch is a fine specimen tree for your landscape or garden project. The tree has 4 seasons of interest: Winter's bare branches and open cones, Spring's chartreuse new needles and purple cones, Summer's blue/green needle color, and finally, Fall's spectacular gold/bronze coloration. The tree can reach 80 feet and about 1.5 feet diameter at the base of the trunk.
