Larix or Larch Trees

A group of evergreen and deciduous trees Larix are commonly called Larch trees. Used widely as feature trees, they are also a species that make great specimens for bonsai.

A deciduous conifer, Larix decidua is the ‘European Larch’ and is available in weeping forms. ‘Julians Weeper’ is the most sought after cultivar with soft new foliage in spring and a graceful weeping habit. It can be trained with some support and pruning when young to grow as a medium sized tree. Its natural habit is more mound forming, making a wonderful large ground cover. Foliage turns a golden yellow in autumn.

Larix occidentalis is from Northern America and is sometimes used for Bonsai.

Generally regarded as a cooler climate tree, a number of varieties are available in Australia from specialist nurseries.

Varieties

Larix or ‘Larch’, with a range of forms :

  • L. decidua (the european larch) which is a large deciduous conifer with pale green needles. Look for the form L. decidua ‘Julians Weeper’.
  • L. decidua pendula with its weeping habit is excellent for medium sized gardens. Fairly rare, however an interesting tree that can be supported to create a weeping effect, or grown unsupported and allowed to form a mound. Perhaps try this one where it can weep down over a retaining wall.
  • L. kaempferi is the ‘Japanese Larch’ a more conical form, as well a dwarf form suitable for Bonsai. Very good autumn tones.
  • L. laricina also known as the Tamarack, rarely offered in Australia.
