Myย tinyย obsession with larch trees continues…I’ve just done a guest post forย Tree Canada about my favourite deciduous-conifer!ย  Toย read it, click here.ย ย You never know when a little “larch tree trivia” might come in handy!ย  (It’sย particularly usefulย to coverย those awkward lulls in conversation at upcoming holiday parties….ย  Hmmm.ย  There may be a reason why I never get invited to attend anything).ย  ๐Ÿ˜‰

While you’reย there, take a gander at Tree Canada’s excellent website and blogย and read up onย aย ton of great info about trees (of course!),ย as well asย allย the fantastic projects they’re involved in.

What is your favourite type ofย tree?

    I’d have to say crabapple.

      Crabapples are fantastic – there are so many beautiful varieties!

    My favorite tree is probably the crape myrtle, even though I would probably choose conifers if they grew well here. It’s just too hot here for most of them, unfortunately. ๐Ÿ˜ฆ I understand exactly what you mean by small talk at parties. It’s so hard to find another gardener to really talk dirt! ๐Ÿ˜‰

      Crape myrtles aren’t tough enough for our crazy cold climate, but they are certainly spectacular! I wish we could grow them here.

    The Larch is tree of the year 2012 in Germany (I posted about it in spring) and I have been watching ours closely this year. I have really only “noticed” them this year and have grown to adore them! They are the last trees with a little colour left now, as the needles have been slow to fall. I use the tiny cones for Advent decorations! Your article is very interesting – I didn’t know there are so many different types, and the fire-resistance was also new to me. Thanks Sheryl!

    I think I love the maple here as the colors in fall are spectacular

      Oh yes, there’s not much that can beat maples for autumn colour! They are simply amazing!

I’m delighted to hear from you – thanks so much for your comments!
