Larch tree
Larch trees are deciduous conifers, meaning they are cone-bearing trees that lose their needles in winter. They are characterized by soft, feathery needle-like leaves that turn golden in fall before falling off. Larches typically grow in cooler climates and are valued for their durable, reddish-brown wood used in construction, furniture, and paper production. They also play an important ecological role by supporting wildlife and helping stabilize soil. Unlike most conifers, which stay green year-round, larches have a seasonal cycle, offering a striking display of autumnal color.
