Larix
Larch trees are known for their soft, needle-like leaves that turn golden yellow in the fall. They grow tall and straight, providing homes for birds and insects in forests.
Habitat: Forests
The Larch is a unique conifer that boasts soft, bright green needles in spring and summer. Unlike most conifers, its needles turn a brilliant golden yellow in autumn before gracefully falling off, revealing its distinctive bare branches and small woody cones.
