Comments: The larches are unusual in that they are conifers that lose their leaves in the fall. Before the leaves drop they turn a spectacular yellow. Larches are often the last tree to color in the fall. The tree grows in swampy conditions and so
can live well in a site with a moist soil and exposure to full sun.
