5 Seeds Western Larch Larix occidentalis Deciduous Conifer Tree

Western larch is a deciduous conifer that brings unusual seasonal change to the landscape, with soft green needles that turn a brilliant golden yellow before dropping in autumn. Its tall, conical form and open branching give it a striking, airy silhouette that stands out in mixed plantings or as a featured specimen.

This tree works well in larger landscapes, windbreaks, and naturalized settings where its fast growth and distinctive fall color can be appreciated. The fine texture and seasonal needle drop make it an interesting ornamental choice for gardeners who want a conifer with a difference.
