Western larch is an Idaho native recommended primarily for reforestation. The fastest growing conifer in the Rocky Mountain West, it attains maximum growth on deep, moist, porous souls in high valleys, and on northerly or easterly expressed slopes.  Western larch is one of very few deciduous conifers which means it loses its needles each winter. If you order larch seedlings, you’ll notice they have very few needles, if any, and the needles are a deep red to maroon. Although the seedlings look dead, don’t worry—in the spring the buds will open and new, green needles will grow! In the fall the needles will begin changing color and falling to the ground again.
