Key features

Final size 8 x 4 metres in 20 years

Foliage Green needles, turning bright yellow in autumn

Description

Larix decidua has a wonderful conical shape that broadens with age to form a majestic tree. The branches sweep gently upwards in an elegant manner, with new shoots appearing in a contrasting pale colour and the needles taking on a light green colour. The Common Larch is a deciduous conifer and in autumn the needles become bright yellow before falling. Whilst flowers are insignificant, it produces pretty erect cones up to 6cm long.

Suitable for medium to large sized gardens, expect a height and spread of 8x4 metres in 20 years. This hardy tree can tolerate extreme cold so is ideal for the most northern British climate.

Planting Steps

1Preparation

Pot-grown plants can be planted at any time of year, whereas bare roots need to be planted between November and March.
Clear weeds and grass within a metre of the planting hole.
Dig a hole as deep as the root mass and twice as wide.
To help your plant establish more effectively, sprinkle Rootgrow in the hole.

2Planting

Gently loosen the roots and place into the planting hole.
Ensure the top of the plant's compost is flush with the level of the surrounding soil and the graft union or collar of the tree is above ground level.
Mix 50% of the original soil with 50% compost.
Fill in the hole, firming the soil gently.

3Last Steps

Water generously around the base of the plant.
If you are planting either a single stem tree or mature standard tree, we recommend adding a staking kit and rabbit guard.

Aftercare Advice

Trees and shrubs require a good watering regime for a couple of years whilst they establish. Water well and regularly through spring and summer, increasing in hot or dry weather. If planting in autumn, you may only need to water a little. It is advisable to keep the area free of competing weeds and grass during this period.
