Also called tamarack, the American larch is one of our northernmost trees, growing 40-80 ft. It typically grows in boreal forests in wet, poorly drained bogs. American larch is one of the fastest growing conifers when planted in the correct conditions and can be underplanted with acid loving shrubs and wildflowers. American larch does not tolerate shade, heat, or pollution; however, it will tolerate drier soils than it does in natural areas. It is considered a low maintenance tree species.
