Discover the wonderful world of Larix kaempferi, otherwise known as Japanese Larch.. This medium to large-sized deciduous coniferous tree rules the mountains of Chūbu and Kantō regions in central Honshū, standing proudly at 65-130 feet tall and grounding itself with trunks up to 3 ft in diameter. Enjoy the spectacle of its needle-like, glaucous green leaves that transition from bright yellow to orange come autumn, revealing pinkish-brown shoots that remain bare until the coming spring. Such a tree is not only an eyeful but a delight for gardeners, utilized extensively for ornamental purposes and as material for bonsai. Its fast growth rate fitting well with shelterbelt plantings and it doesn't shy from heights, growing comfortably at altitudes up to 9,500 ft on well-drained soils. Japanese larch is of crucial value to forestry plantations, particularly in Japan, the British Isles and other regions of Northern Europe, proving its mettle in the world of general construction work.
