Pseudolarix amabilis
Golden Larch - Bonsai
Description
Pseudolarix amabilis, commonly known as the Golden Larch, is a deciduous conifer prized for its stunning fall color. Its needles, which grow in clusters, turn a brilliant golden-yellow before falling off in autumn. The tree has a broad, pyramidal shape and a unique bark that develops deep fissures as it ages. Unlike true larches, the cones of Pseudolarix are erect and cone-like, giving the tree an added ornamental appeal. It's a relatively slow-growing tree, but it is long-lived and can become quite large. Plant it in a sunny location with well-drained soil to enhance its vibrant fall color.
