Western Larch
October 2005
Bill Robinson emailed us these pictures which he took behind his house in Montana. Like all larches, the needles are shed in winter. Very interesting! I find the picture of the bark to be especially beautiful. Thanks Bill!

I thought this blog had died or gone on indefinite hiatus. Now I come back and see there was this post over two months ago that I never saw. I've never seen a larch (I don't believe). Beautiful! Looks like an evergreen but it isn't. Interesting.

This blog isn't so much dead as it is "on hold" during the winter season!
The weird thing about larches, Dale, is that technically they are an 'evergreen' tree - they have needles and cones and are in the pine family!?!?!?

Glenn & Sherri, this is your blog. I'm feeling neglected. Give me some love!

So a larch is in the evergreen family, eh? That's interesting. I honestly don't think I've ever seen one. We have plenty of pine trees around my house though. I also have some tall Douglas Fur (twice the height of my old farm house) and some Arbavitae trees that were once part of a hedgerow when my house was much younger. (It's 140+ plus years old and has been lived in by my family since it was built.)
