Notes
Dunkeld larch (Larix marschlinsii) is a tree for low maintenance planting. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full sun, average moisture, and sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It adapts to acid, alkaline, or neutral soil. It sits low on the menu for deer. Give it plenty of room because it grows tall.
Pairs well with American yellowwood, Snowberry, and Royal fern.
