European larch

Overview

European larch (Larix decidua) is an evergreen tree found throughout Europe and parts of Asia. It can grow to heights of 30 meters or more and has a broad, rounded crown and stunning yellow-orange needles in the fall. It is typically grown in moist, well-drained soils, and is a hardy species, both tolerant of cold temperatures and drought. European larch is a popular landscaping choice, especially for rural or naturalistic plantings due to its ability to tolerate wind, snow, and other weather conditions. It also provides habitat for birds, mammals, and other wildlife. Planting multiple larches together creates an impressive forestry scene.
