Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Dainty, yellow-green cones are perched amidst the fresh green tufts of needles on the ascending branches of this narrow, vigorously-upright larch before turning to brown, giving the appearance of paper lanterns hanging from the bare branches in winter.

By: Conifer Kingdom

Named for the lovely and numerous papery lantern-shaped cones it bears. This narrowly upright 15-20' tall by only 4-8' wide, deciduous, conifer has slightly contorted branches giving it a very unique silhouette. The medium-green, soft needles are lovely, but it is at its most beautiful in fall when its long needles turn to glowing golden-orange and the lanterns become even more prominent. S/M/GDr
