The European Larch is a large deciduous conifer that, like most larches, drops its needles before winter. Known for the soft green foliage that turns a stunning golden yellow in the fall. While young, it has a pyramidal shape with horizontal branching and drooping branches, but becomes more irregular as it matures.

The European Larch is an important timber tree in Europe.

Thornless Honey Locust makes an excellent shade tree with its lacy foliage and dappled shade. The leaves are honey-yellow, light and airy, providing interesting color and texture to your landscape. This variety is thornless, and the seeds and pods provide food for wildlife such as deer and squirrels.

The Thornless Honey Locust is tolerant of drought, various soil conditions, and even road salt.
