About this product

Discovered in Dunkeld, Perthshire, around 1904, Larix x eurolepis, or Dunkeld Larch, is particularly robust and is a cross between Larix decidua and Larix kaempferi.

In truth, all the Larch we grow have very similar attributes and are difficult to distinguish. We would choose this cultivar for its toughness.

It is a large and fast-growing tree with good timber and amenity value.

Ideal for street verges or parkland, this deciduous conifer is, in our view, a highly underused gem.

Larch carries a primaeval charm, serving as a remarkable relic of an age long before ours.

Mature height: 17-22m

Note: Mediums are supplied at approx. 2-2.5m tall
