A lone tree stands in a grassy field with a backdrop of forested hills and stormy clouds above.

Larches are deciduous conifers in the genus Larix, of the family Pinaceae.

Growing from 20 to 45 metres tall, they are native to the cooler regions of the northern hemisphere, where they are found in lowland forests in the high latitudes, and high in mountains further south.

Although they are conifers, larches are deciduous trees that lose their needles in the autumn.
