Larix laricina

Common Name: Tamarack

Tamarack is a deciduous conifer growing 30 to 85 feet tall with fine, needle-like foliage that turns brilliant golden-yellow in fall before dropping. It grows in cold, acidic bogs and wet lowlands, often with black spruce and sphagnum moss. Adapted to peat and saturated soils, Tamarack is suitable for naturalized wetland plantings and restoration of peatland habitats.

Planting Information

Dig a hole in your planting site slightly larger than the plant’s root system. When placing the plant into the hole, ensure that the soil line remains consistent with its original level in the pot. Fill in around the roots with the excavated soil, gently firming it to eliminate air pockets. Water the plant thoroughly the same day to promote successful establishment.
