Larch

A wood species native to Bavaria, the Carpathians and the Swiss Alps, Larch ha sbeen steadily been introduced all over europe since the seventeenth century. Today, it is a main constituent of the biggest forest mass in the world: the Barorial forest of Finaland and Russia.

Tall and straight, reaching up to 45m in favourable conditions, Larch is the heaviest and hardest of European cniferous woods, developing best in mountainous regions with very cold winters. Although it is a conifer, Larch loses its needles in the autumn.
