Larix Siberia
Siberian Larch
Larch trees are large deciduous trees with short needles and cones. Growing from 20 to 45 m tall, they are native to much of the cooler temperate northern hemisphere. Larches are among the few deciduous conifers, which are mostly evergreen. The female cones of larches are erect, small, 1–9 cm long, green or purple, ripening brown in 6 months after pollination; in about half the species the bract scales are long and visible, and in the others, short and hidden between the seed scales. Larix Siberia is a deciduous conifer, pyramidal shape, soft needles turn golden yellow in autumn. Ht to 30m

Planting young plants
From Early Spring TO Early Spring
Plant the young tree where it can get at least six hours of sunlight per day. It can’t tolerate hot summers. Nor will they tolerate dry soil, so water often enough to keep the soil moist. Use organic mulch to help the soil hold moisture. Always mix a good organic compoist with the soil when back filling the planting hole to help the newly planted tree establish and begin to spread out its roots.
