	Larch - New World Encyclopedia
		Larch is the common name for any of the deciduous coniferous trees comprising the genus Larix of the pine family (Pinaceae), characterized by needle-like leaves and generally small cones.
		Larches are among the dominant plants in the immense boreal forests of Russia and Canada, along with such evergreen conifers as firs, spruces, and pines.
		Larches are prone to the fungal canker disease Lachnellula willkommii (larch canker); this is particularly a problem on sites prone to late spring frosts, which cause minor injuries to the tree allowing entry to the fungal spores.

	Larch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Larches are conifers in the genus Larix, in the family Pinaceae.
		Larches are among the dominant plants in the immense boreal forests of Russia and Canada.
		Larch cones are erect, small, 1-9 cm long, green or purple, ripening brown 5-8 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.

	LARCH - LoveToKnow Article on LARCH (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The larch abounds on the Alps of Switzerland, on which it flourishes at an elevation of 5000 ft., and also on those of Tirol and Savoy, on the Carpathians, and in most of the hill regions of central Europe; it is not wild on the Apennine Branchlet of Larch (Larix europaea).
		The Siberian larch has smooth grey bark and smaller cones, approaching in shape somewhat to those of the American hackmatack; it seems even hardier than the Alpine tree, growing up to latitude 68, but, as the inclement climate of the polar shores is neared, dwindling down to a dwarf and even trailing bush.
		The thinnings of the larch woods in the Highlands are in demand I or railway sleepers, scaffold poles, and mining timber, and are applied to a variety of agricultural purposes.

	Larch - MSN Encarta
		Larches are conifers in the genus Larix, in the family Pinaceae.
		Larches belong to the pine family and are unusual among the conifers (see Conifer) in that they are deciduous: their soft, needlelike leaves, borne in dense clusters, drop in the fall, and new leaves do not appear until the following spring.
		The American larch is classified as Larix laricina, the western larch as Larix occidentalis, the subalpine larch as Larix lyallii, and the European larch as Larix decidua.

		The Japanese Larch has been extensively planted in forests whilst the European Larch is mainly to be seen in woodlands of perhaps over 60 years of age and in parks and gardens.
		Larch trees are particularly attractive producing a green flush of foliage in the Spring and assuming yellow, orange or light brown tones as the needles die at the onset of Winter.
		The hybrid larch is a cross between the Japanese and the European and first arose by chance when cross-pollination between female flowers of Japanese larch and males of the European one happened on the Estate of the Duke of Atholl at Dunkeld in Perthshire about 1900.

		The European larch should be transplanted when dormant, as planting during the growing season can result in severe shock.
		One precautionary note: although the European larch requires a sunny location, it languishes in heat and should not be sited in areas that will receive reflective heat; it is best in established areas with larger trees (a cooler micro-climate).

		This tree was important in European folklore, being traditionally considered to prevent enchantment and ward off evil spirits – infant children sometimes wore collars of larch bark as protection against the evil eye.
		In European folk medicine, the resin was taken internally to cure tapeworm, bloody diarrhea, and suppress menstruation, and externally, it was applied to wounds, sores, and other skin problems.
		European larch does best with sufficient moisture, well-drained and sunny conditions; it does not grow well in very dry or wet soils.

		European larch in the northeastern U.S. can be defoliated by a fl-green fungus which has been identified only to genus.
		Rake and dispose of fallen needles to reduce the chance of infection in the following season, and maintain vigor of the trees with adequate water during dry periods and fertilization in the spring.
		Larch needles are often eaten by the larvae of this insect, which are dull gray or olive green above, pale green beneath, and nearly 3/4" long when fully grown.

		Larch are best transplanted at the end of February or early March, just before their needles appear.
		Larches are very flexible; they take wiring easily (meaning they stay where you put them); you can prune them any time of the year.
		Because larches throw all their growth to the top of the tree, branches at the top of the tree need to be pruned quite short to redirect the growth to lower branches.

		The larch inhabits the easily accessible slopes exposed to the south, and can be found (along with the cembra pine) in the Engadine region.
		The larch does not like fog or humidity, which is why it grows best in the dry climate of the Engadine region.
		Because of the different reproduction processes of the two species, the larch will eventually be overtaken by the cembra pine.

	Larch - LoveToKnow Garden
		Larch (Larix) - One of the most beautiful trees of the north, and though much cultivated in our woodlands for its value as a timber tree, it is none the less precious for the lawn and home grounds.
		A true child of the northern mountains, the Larch is hardy everywhere in England, perhaps thriving better in the north, as in the case of the lovely old trees at Dunkeld, its only enemy being a dreadful parasitic fungus, which eats into the tree and mars its beauty and vigour.
		Other kinds of Larch are known, and some coming into cultivation, but it is not always easy to obtain them in a good state, and we have yet but little evidence as to their value.

	Larch
		Larch is a deciduous, coniferous tree up to 50 m high, with a greyish-brown bark, falling off in small plates.
		The upright, egg-shaped cones are 2-3.5 cm long and made up of 40-50 scales and are hairy on the outside when young.
		Larches are vulnerable to spring frost and larch canker is caused by a fungus, which can kill the trees.

		There are two species of Larix that are principally used for bonsai; Larix decidua/ European Larch and Larix kaempferi/ Japanese Larch though there are a large number of L.decidua x L.kaempferi hybrids that display characteristics of both species.
		WIRING Larches are best pruned in Spring when the leafbuds are ready to sprout and the bare branches can still be seen; care should be taken not to knock off new buds.
		Larch branches thicken rapidly and wire should inspected regularly to ensure it is not cutting in.
