European Larch (Larix decidua)
The European larch is a deciduous conifer and is native to Europe, where it
grows in the same area as the Norway Spruce and is frequently seen growing
together. It can be a very large tree growing over 100ft and have a trunk
diameter of 4 ft, it is hardy in the zone of 2-6. The European larch is an
excellent windbreak tree even though it looses its needles in the winter.
Its many branches really stop the wind and it will grow faster than any other
conifer I have ever seen . In our field windbreak it is the largest tree
having grown faster than any evergreen or deciduous tree. As with the
Norway Spruce it likes the same soil and moisture conditions. Have not
seen any types of disease problems here in the midwest. It is a highly
recommended windbreak tree here in the midwest in conjunction with other
evergreen trees. Plant 16ft -20 apart in rows and between rows. A
2f-3ft potted plant can be 12ft+ in 5 years with good weed and grass control and
no mulch.
