Western Larch or Western Tamarack is a large, deciduous tree that grows up to 200 feet tall at maturity. Its reddish brown bark is thin and scaly when young, becoming thick, plated, and deeply furrowed when older. The leaves are needle-like and light green, turning bright yellow in the fall. This perennial tree grows in full sun and wet soils, and produces seeds that are an important food source for birds.
