About the Siberian Larch

The Siberian Larch is a hardy, fast-growing deciduous conifer known for its strength, longevity, and resistance to harsh northern climates. Unlike most conifers, this larch loses its needles in fall, adding seasonal color and interest to the landscape. It thrives in well-drained soils and is highly valued for both its beauty and durable wood.

In spring, soft green needles emerge in clusters along its branches, creating a delicate, feathery texture. Through summer, the tree maintains a vibrant green canopy that provides a light, airy shade. As autumn approaches, the needles turn a brilliant golden-yellow before dropping, revealing the tree’s graceful form and rugged bark. The Siberian Larch is ideal for shelterbelts, reforestation, and ornamental planting in cold, dry regions.
