Tree id: Larch trees - Hybrid European and Japanese Larch - Winter UK tree identification

Larch tree identification Dunkeld larch (Larix × marschlinsii) - Winter, UK. Hybrid of European and Japanese larch, Larix decidua & Larix kaempferi. Larch trees are conifers in the genus Larix, in the family Pinaceae. Growing from 20 to 45 m tall (65 to 147 ft), they are native to much of the cooler temperate northern hemisphere, on lowlands in the north and high on mountains further south. Although a conifer, the larch is a deciduous tree and loses its leaves in the autumn. Larix decidua, common name European larch, is a species of larch native to the mountains of central Europe. It is thought to have been first cultivated in Britain in 1629. Larix kaempferi, known as Japanese larch or karamatsu (唐松) in Japanese) is a species of larch native to Japan. A well-known hybrid, the Dunkeld larch Larix × marschlinsii (syn. L. × eurolepis, an illegitimate name), which arose more or less simultaneously in Switzerland and Scotland when L. decidua and L. kaempferi hybridised when planted together, is still treated as unresolved.
