Tamarack

*Native Ontario Tree*

The Tamarack (Larix Laricina) is a beautiful native conifer that loses its needles in the fall. It is commonly found in wet, swampy or boggy locations, but can grow in other locations as long as soil moisture is consistent. 

This tree looks good through many seasons. In spring, small rosy pink cones can be seen as new needles begin to emerge. In summer, the soft green needles give the tree a fine texture. In autumn, the needles turn yellow before they fall.
