10.01.2022 Photos taken yesterday Except for the U.S. Forest Service Larix Arboretum in Montana we may have the largest man-made stand of Siberian Larch in the U.S. We now... have about 60 of them in our growing collection. We have about 25 different varieties of Larch from all over the world. Many people east of the Continental Divide want to grow Larch & try growing Montana native Larix occidentalis, ‘Western Larch’ but they almost never survive. We do have 6 or 8 of them but they struggle. Ones from Siberia, Europe & Japan do very well in our dry harsh climate. Most of ours are not irrigated.
