Japanese Larch "Blue Beauty"
Larix kaempferi
Japanese Larch ''Blue Beauty''.
Frost-resistant, drought-resistant, coniferous tree with large, persistent buds.
It grows on the sunny dry slopes of the mountains of the island of Honshu (Japan). Beautiful, fast-growing tree up to 35 m tall. Long, thick, almost horizontal branches form a peculiar, wide-pyramidal crown. For the most part, the multi-vertex trunk is covered with relatively thin, reddish-brown bark. The bark of the branches is gray, the buds are shiny, dark brown. The needles are long, up to 5 cm long, blue-green. Cones in youth are yellowish-green, spherical (2-3 cm) with thin, leathery scales, bent at the top like rose petals, remain on the branches for up to 3 years.
The seeds are small, light brown, with a dark brown wing. The needles are painted in autumn in bright yellow tones much later than other species, creating bright spots in plantings within a month.
