| Larix- The Larches | ||||||||||||
 |
||||||||||||
| I am not sure why larches are my favorite genus of conifer. I grew up in Northeast Washington state, where Larix occidentalis makes up a good portion of the forests- so maybe it is childhood nostalgia... Larches are tough trees that all grow in cold, harsh climates. Aside from the three species native to North America, there are several that grow in Eurasia as well- from Siberia and Mongolia to the highest forests of the Himalayas. All are deciduous, turning golden yellow and dropping their needles in the fall. | ||||||||||||
| Larches I currently grow L. kaempferi L. kaempferi 'Wolterdingen' (OMG what a great plant!) L. kaempferi 'Haverbeck' . mastersiana L. lyallii (seed from Selkirk Crest, N ID) L. occidentalis L. gmellinii 'Rhomberg Park' L. siberica (from seed from Mongolia) L. siberica 'Conica' L. siberica 'Rasputin' L. sukaczewii Pseudolarix amabilis (not a larch but close enough!) |

| I am very interested in trading seed and/or scionwood of larch species and cultivars! If you have material you would like to trade, please email me. |
