Medium-size deciduous conifer, up to around 12 m, although it can grow to over 30 m in nature. Pseudolarix means ‘false Larix’: the tree looks like a Larix but the crown is distinctly broader. The horizontally arranged main branches first form a broad ovoid and later a round crown. The young twigs are pale yellow and later turn purplish brown. The mature bark is reddish brown to grey-brown and grooved. The soft needles are in clusters of 10 to 20 on short shoots. They are bright green and turn deep golden yellow before falling in autumn. The cones are more or less round and yellowish brown. When ripening they fall apart, unlike Larix where the cones remain intact. It is a noble tree for parks and large gardens. Pseudolarix grows in any well-drained, fertile soil but cannot tolerate lime.
Pseudolarix amabilis can eventually reach a height of 15 (30 - 40) m, depending on the site and climate conditions.
Pseudolarix amabilis is átlagos and can eventually reach a height of 15 (30 - 40) m, depending on the site and climate conditions.
The leaves of Pseudolarix amabilis turn sárga in autumn.
The right time to plant Pseudolarix amabilis is during the dormancy period. In Western Europe, Pseudolarix amabilis with root balls can generally be planted from mid-November to late April, although this depends strongly on the climatic conditions and the species of tree.
