A tall, pyramidal tree with somewhat drooping and contorted branches, the Japanese larch has finely textured, short tufts of blue-green needles that become yellow in autumn and drop away in time for winter. From Japan, this cone-bearing tree is deciduous with a beige-gray or rusty brown bark that is scaly and lightly ridged. When young it is an upright, pyramid-like tree, but then ages to have quite an open habit with truly drooping, horizontal branches.
In spring the youngest, purpled-tinged branch twigs fill with clusters of short, light green needles that mature to more blue-green or gray-green. Rather than spring flowers, this tree produces both male and female cones. Male cones are small, round and yellow, whereas the female cones are more cylindrical in shape and colored red, pink, yellow or green. Not overly showy overall, but the flowering cones are peculiar and interesting when viewed up close. The fertilized female cones develop into purple and then brown woody cones that linger and decorate the branches for an additional year. The mature cones are more round than oblong and resemble a rosette, almost like the flower of a hybrid tea rose. Birds flock to this tree.
Grow Japanese larch in full sun locations in any variety of deep soil that has good drainage. As it is deciduous, it is very tolerant of many conditions, including very cold, windy or seasonally dry areas. Use it as a specimen tree in the landscape, especially as a feature near a body of still or running water. (source: learn2grow.com)
