In Minnesota we have a lot of peat bogs. The sphagnum moss grows a foot thick over the water. We collect larch from these bogs. Since there is virtually no nitrogen in peat the growth rate is very slow. A larch just a few feet tall can be a hundred years old.
Larches are one of the few deciduous conifers. Even as bonsai, in September they turn a brilliant gold and drop their needles. In the spring the new foliage comes out a beautiful lime green. They do form diminutive comes. These trees are very winter hardy, actually to zone 2. I have heard of larches growing as far south as the Carolinas, but, I'd consider them strictly northern tier trees.

- Collected in 2007, styled in 2009.
