Let your images tell the story.
“No traveler, whether a tree lover or not, will ever forget his first walk in a sugar-pine forest. The majestic crowns approaching one another make a glorious canopy, through the feathery arches of which the sunbeams pour, silvering the needles and gilding the stately columns and the ground into a scene of enchantment.” ~John Muir
“Autumn whispered to the wind, ‘I fall but always rise again’.” ~ Angie Weiland-Crosby

I learned just yesterday that I had a larch in my front yard. I was wondering if there was something wrong with it, but my neighbor informed me that it’s normal for it to coat the ground with it’s golden needles. I’m enjoying learning what falls does around here!

whats the difference between Tamarack and Larch I wonder?
LikeLiked by 1 person
I don’t think there is, Wayne. Larch comes from the Latin name larix I think? I’ve heard them used interchangeably.

Tamarack is a smaller tree. Same “family” but not as big or as long living as a larch.

Good to know, Bernie 😁 Western Larch grow everywhere in northeast Washington, Idaho and Montana and I’ve seen European larch planted that thrive here too.

It appears they are different species but the same Genus.
Tamarack (Larix laricina) is also commonly called eastern larch. Western larch (Larix occidentalis) also called tamarack. Although larch and tamarack are different species, they are in the same genus and can be used interchangeably.
