The only European pine species with autumn color / Outdoor bonsai
The European larch is a deciduous tree with horizontally spreading branches and a regular, usually slender crown that flattens somewhat with age. Its bark, smooth in its youth, develops a very interesting and deeply furrowed appearance over time. Its needles are numerous on short shoots and solitary on long shoots. The larch sheds its soft, delicate, and flexible needles after turning golden yellow in autumn. It is the only native deciduous conifer in Europe and is ideally suited for bonsai cultivation.
natural habitat is the mountains of Central Europe, and it likely survived the last Ice Age in the Carpathian Mountains.
