?There is no more delicate charm in the North Woods than when the soft green tufts of needles first begin to clothe the [Larch]? (Peattie); most northerly growing tree, it prefers (though it?s not required) a boggy site. S/M-W

This is the most widespread Larch across North America. It's pretty slow growing, medium textured and will eventually grow to 60-80' tall. The foliage is bluish-green and turns yellow in the autumn. Prefers moist, well drained, acid soils and does not tolerate shade or pollution. Excellent planted in groves.
