During the summer months you can walk past coniferous trees not differentiating between the wide variety of species found throughout the forest. It's not until the fall and winter that I remember that not all the needled trees are evergreen and that we have a lot of Larch in the forest; both young tightly planted plantations and the more mature thinned plantations as well as a some fine specimen trees. The Larch Larix deciduav can grow into a tall straight tree some 45m high with a 2m diameter trunk. The wood of the Larch is much priced in yacht construction for its toughness and durability as well as being popular for fence building and is a favorite of Bonsai creators.
