  Larch - LoveToKnow 1911
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 for railway sleepers, scaffold poles, and mining timber, and are applied to a variety of agricultural purposes.

In September 2004, ISCA Technologies, Inc. (Riverside, CA) was awarded a contract by USDA-APHIS to develop and test the scale-up synthesis of the siberian moth pheromone, and synthesize 200 grams of two key compounds of the pheromone blend.
The siberian moth, Dendrolimus superans sibiricus, is a major defoliator of coniferous forests in its native Urals, Siberia, and the Far East.
The first line of defense against the moth's invasion is to track the insect's whereabouts and population sizes in its native habitat, and at possible ports of entry and habitats in the United States.
