A top CO2 absorbing species. Experts think this tree may help climate change more than others.

Siberian Larch is a large, cold hardy conifer. Like the Tamarack, its needles turn golden yellow and drop in the fall, and it is able to handle saturated soils.

If you are looking for a long-lived tree for your large property or shelterbelt with quite wet soil, this is the tree for you.

This variety is often used on the south side of a shelterbelt to let sunlight in during the winter and to provide protection or shading during the summer.
