What is larch? Is it a deciduous or coniferous tree? The features of the breed are described in this article.
Description of the breed. Is larch a deciduous or coniferous tree?
Larix is the Latin name for a very interesting tree - larch. In height, it grows up to fifty meters, while the diameter of the trunk does not exceed one meter. Each plant lives three hundred to five hundred years, although the old-timers of the Earth are known, who are already about eight hundred years old.
The plant looks interesting: it has a conical crown, but it is very loose, translucent in many places. If the tree grows in an area where the winds blow predominantly in one direction, then the larch crown will form in the form of a flag.
The root system of the tree is very powerful and tenacious - it is easily kept on steep slopes even in strong winds. For greater stability, the lower branches of larch take root.
Amazing Feature
This species has modified leaves - needles. It would seem that in this place the question of which larch tree is coniferous or deciduous is no longer relevant. But the needles of larix are special - very soft, not prickly, pleasant to the touch, growing in bunches of 40-50 pieces or singly. In addition, it is an annual, that is, it falls off every autumn, and grows again in the spring - young, bright green. It is this fact that most often raises doubts about whether larch belongs to coniferous or deciduous trees. Since neither spruce, nor pine, nor fir - traditional representatives of conifers - do not shed their needles for the winter. Everyone knows that the Christmas tree "in winter and summer - one color." However, those who are interested in whether larch is a deciduous or coniferous tree should know that it is still a coniferous species belonging to the Pine family.
botanical properties
Larch loves the sun very much. In the shade, it does not grow at all and does not bear fruit. The tree chooses places flooded with sunlight. Under favorable conditions, it grows extremely fast - up to one meter per year!
Other agro-climatic conditions do not play such an important role:
- larch is resistant to low temperatures, calmly tolerates severe frosts;
- undemanding to the composition of the soil. It grows equally well on soils poor in humus, on dry and waterlogged soils, and moss swamps. But prefers sandstones of river valleys.
Larch can create pure plantings or coexist with spruce, fir, birch and other species. It is noteworthy that this tree is not damaged by rodents, does not affect diseases.
Kinds
Now we know the answer to the question, larch is a deciduous or coniferous tree. And who knows that this is one of the most common breeds on the planet? More than twenty of its species are known: Daurian, Amur, Kamchatka, European, Primorsky, Siberian, Okhotsk, Kuril, Olginskaya, Chekanovsky, Gmelin, Middendorf, Komarov, Griffitz, Lyubarsky, Potanin, Lyell larch, American larch, thin-scaly, western, Polish and some others. They differ in the places of growth, the length and width of the shoots, the shape and size of the cones, the appearance of the needles. But they all belong to the Pine family, and no one doubts that larch is a coniferous or deciduous tree. The features of all species are the same - soft needles that fall in the winter.
Distribution area
Larch is very widespread on earth. It grows throughout the northern hemisphere of the planet. In Russia, 38% of the forest area is occupied by larch plantations, and this is a huge territory! The tree grows in the Far East and throughout Siberia, in Northern and Western Europe up to the Carpathians, in some places in Central Europe, throughout North America, Canada. Larch can be found even far beyond the Arctic Circle!
Use in the national economy
Larch is widely used in everyday life. Its wood is highly durable, resinous and resilient. In terms of hardness, it is far ahead of other tree species, second only to oak. A big plus of larch is that it is very resistant to decay. By the way, all of Venice stands on wooden piles made of Siberian larch. Surprisingly, having been in water for centuries, it not only did not rot, but became harder than iron. Now even an ax will not take such a pile.
All these characteristics determine the widespread use of the species in construction, as well as in the furniture business. Berths, ships, bridges, underwater structures are built from larch. It is used in the design of interior and exterior interiors, as well as in industry - they produce turpentine. Containers for liquids are made from wood - barrels, vats. Piles, masts, sleepers, mill wings - all this is also made from larch. Very often it is used for the manufacture of sports and children's game equipment, fences, sidewalks, front gardens.
An interesting fact: the frame of Soviet trucks ZIS-5 and UralZIS is made of larch.
Larch in folk medicine
Any items made from Siberian larch have a natural ability to purify the air, rid it of harmful volatile substances. Phytoncides contained in wood help the body cope with colds. They also actively destroy viruses, calm the nervous system and relieve migraines. Hypertension and hypotension patients are advised to decorate the interior of the house with larch or at least have a few items made from this tree.
The needles of this breed are very rich in ascorbic acid. An infusion of fresh needles is used as an excellent remedy for scurvy, as well as for the prevention of various diseases, strengthening the immune system. Siberian larch is able to give Siberian health.
Baths made from larch needles are also very useful. They help those who suffer from joint diseases. Turpentine is a medicine against gout and rheumatism, which is made from larch resin.
Instead of total
Now you know that larch is a deciduous or coniferous tree, as well as all the features and characteristics of the breed, where it grows and areas of application.
As you know, each de-re-va has its own signs. One of these signs is the leaves. Sheet- this is one of the main or-ga-news of races, you-full-nya-y-ing function of breathing and pi-ta-ning. The leaves of de-re-vieve are very different-but-about-times in shape and size.

The most mo-gu-chim de-re-vom of the forest is considered oak. Our ancestors considered the oak to be a sacred tree. You-so-that oak is about 50 meters long, life span is 500 years. But there is also a long-go-zh-te-whether more than thou-sya-chi years. Autumn-new on oaks so-mature-va-yut je-lu-di.
These are satisfying and nourishing fruits. The squirrel loves to-la-ko-mit-sya-lu-dya-mi, still hides in a hollow in reserve. The jay forest bird is also a lover of tasty fruits. Wild ka-ba-nas rush for the same-lu-dya-mi, because they need-ho-di-mo to drink fat in order to re-re-zi-mo-wat the winter.
Our ancestors knew: a lot of alu-days on an oak - for a su-ro-howl winter. It is necessary to sow wheat when the du-bo-leaves unfold. And the oak is also considered a symbol of power and strength. Du-bo-you-mi veins-ka-mi on-civil-yes-whether the most brave-ryh in-and-new.
In na-ro-de they say about cowardly people: "It trembles like an axis-new leaf." In fact, the axis-new-new leaf trembles from the little-she-th du-no-ve-niya of the wind. Connected-for-but this is with the construction . Che-re-shock of aspen is very thin and long, even in a windless weather, aspen leaves quietly whisper. In the spring, before the appearance of leaves on the aspen, se-rezh-ki appear. In the na-ro-de they say: “Po-le-tel fluff from the aspen, go to the forest for under-axes-no-vi-com.”
Sub-axes-no-vic
These are mushrooms, some like to grow under the wasp. The hats of these mushrooms are on-on-mi-on-the-autumn color of the axis of new leaves.
What de-re-ve is this bastard about?

A bee is the most delicious honey.
And everyone offends me,
Take off the thin skin.
This Linden. Soul-shi-stye aro-matt linden flowers attract bees. And it’s not for nothing that the bees produce honey, it has healing properties. Our ancestors ho-di-li to the linden for the bast. This is the inner part of the cortex. From the de-re-va, take off the thin po-lo-sy and weave bast shoes. Dre-ve-si-na linden is very soft and white. From it, from-go-tav-li-va-yut furniture, in-su-du and mu-zy-kal-in-stru-men-you.
The second paradise group-pas de re-vieve is conifers.
The needles are vi-to-from-me-nen leaves. To the coniferous de-re-vyam from-no-syat-sya spruce, pine cedar, fir, leaf-vein-ni-tsa. A forest composed of coniferous de-re-views, na-zy-va-et-sya coniferous. In contrast to leaf-vein de-re-vie, coniferous de-re-vie do not shed needles in autumn, that’s why they have another name -ing - forever-but-ze-le-nye.
Spruce - ever-but-ze-le-noe coniferous de-re-vo. Krona de-re-va descends to the very ground, which is why it is dark and damp in the spruce forests. Spruce forests on-zy-va-yut-sya spruce-no-ka-mi. The roots ate races-on-the-same-near from the top of the earth. Therefore, from a strong wind, they ate pa-da-yut, forming impenetrable thickets and boo-re-lo-we. So you-look a spruce branch with shish-ka-mi. Cones pro-long-go-va-tye.
Spruce - very in-te-res-noe and useful de-re-vo. Her dre-ve-si-na goes to iz-go-to-le-ni-mu-zy-kal-nyh instru-men-t and boo-ma-gi. Coniferous de-re-vya you-de-la-ut special things, they fill the air with a pleasant aroma and clear yut him. How much ra-to-sti bring-no-sit ze-le-naya beauty-sa-vi-tsa to the house on New Year's Eve!
Pine - coniferous de-re-vo. Krona de-re-va na-ho-dit-sya at the very top-khush-ki, so it’s light in the pine forests. Such a forest na-zy-va-et-sya sos-no-vy boron. The pine has powerful roots, so it is not afraid of strong winds. And pine can also grow on rocks and ravines. So you-look a pine branch with a cone.
Pine needles are longer than those of spruce. The needles are spread here on a branch, two together. Cones are short-mouthed, round-shaped.
Among the coniferous de-re-vieh de-re-vo with unusual properties is larch. Like spruce and pine, leaf-vein-ni-tsa has needles; this is her name-zy-va-yut leaf-vein-no-tsa. In the spring, young needles appear again from the kidneys.
If there are both coniferous and leaf-vein de-re-vya in the forest, such a forest is na-zy-va-et-xia mixed.
De-re-vya is the lungs of our planet. Absorbing harmful substances, de-re-vya you-de-la-yut air, oxygen. Leaves hold-zh-va-yut burning and co-sweat. De-re-vya needs to be protected.
At the next lesson, there will be a review of the topic “Autumn in the life of races”. In the course of the lesson, we will learn about the most important seasons of me-not-no-yah, someone pro-is-ho-dyat practi-ti-che-ski with all races -te-ne-i-mi. Let's see how autumn manifests itself, and then you-clear the role of autumn in the life of races.

In this lesson, the topic "Deciduous and Coniferous Trees" will be considered, which will help students learn about two groups of trees - deciduous and coniferous. Consider their distinguishing features.
Lesson: Deciduous and coniferous trees
As you know, each tree has its own distinctive features. Leaves are one such feature. Sheet- This is one of the main organs of the plant, performing the function of respiration and nutrition. The leaves of trees are very diverse in shape and size.
Birch has small carved leaves.
Linden leaves are shaped like a heart.
Oak leaves will expand at the top of the leaf.
Maple has a wide leaf plate with pointed ends.
Rowan has a complex leaf, on the central petiole there are up to 15 small leaves.
Complex leaf and chestnut. Slightly pointed leaves are connected at the top of the main petiole.
Birch, mountain ash, oak, maple, linden are deciduous trees. They have their own distinctive features.
1) The presence of leaves.
2) In autumn, the color of the leaves changes.
3) All deciduous trees shed their foliage. This phenomenon is called leaf fall.
A large number of treesform a deciduous forest.
Let's get acquainted with some representatives of deciduous trees.
The most powerful tree in the forest is considered oak. Our ancestors considered oak a sacred tree. The height of the oak is about 50 meters, the life expectancy is 500 years. But there are centenarians for more than a thousand years. Ripe on oak trees in autumn acorns.
These are rich and nutritious fruits. The squirrel loves to eat acorns, and will hide them in a hollow in reserve. The forest bird jay is also a lover of delicious fruits. Wild boars also rush for acorns, because they need to accumulate fat in order to survive the winter.
Our ancestors knew: a lot of acorns on oak - for a harsh winter. Wheat should be sown when the oak leaves unfold. And oak is considered a symbol of power and strength. Oak wreaths were awarded to the bravest warriors.
People say about cowardly people: "It trembles like an aspen leaf." In fact, the aspen leaf trembles from the slightest breath of wind. This is due to the structure of the petiole . The aspen petiole is very thin and long, even in calm weather, aspen leaves rustle quietly. In the spring, before the leaves appear on the aspen, earrings appear. People say: "Fluff flew from the aspen, go to the forest for a boletus."
These are mushrooms that love to grow under the aspen. The caps of these mushrooms resemble the autumn color of aspen leaves.
What tree is this riddle about?
Takes from my flower
The bee is the most delicious honey.
And everyone hates me
Remove the thin skin.
This Linden. Fragrant fragrant linden flowers attract bees. And it is not for nothing that bees produce linden honey, it has healing properties. Our ancestors went to linden for bast. This is the inner part of the cortex. Thin strips were removed from the tree and bast shoes were woven. Linden wood is very soft and white. Furniture, dishes and musical instruments are made from it.
The second group of trees is coniferous. Needles are modified leaves. Coniferous trees include spruce, cedar pine, fir, larch. A forest of coniferous trees is called coniferous. Unlike deciduous trees, coniferous trees do not shed their needles in autumn, so their other name is evergreen.
Spruce is an evergreen coniferous tree. The crown of the tree descends to the very ground, so it is dark and damp in the spruce forests. Spruce forests are called spruce forests. Spruce roots are located close to the surface of the earth. Therefore, from a strong wind, spruce trees fall, forming impenetrable thickets and windbreaks. It looks like a spruce branch with cones. Cones are oblong.
Spruce is a very interesting and useful tree. Its wood is used to make musical instruments and paper. Coniferous trees emit special substances, they fill the air with a pleasant aroma and purify it. How much joy the green beauty brings to the house on New Year's Eve!
Pine is a coniferous tree. The crown of the tree is at the very top, so it is light in the pine forests. Such a forest is called pine forest. The pine has powerful roots, so it is not afraid of strong winds. And pine can grow on rocks and ravines. It looks like a pine branch with a cone.
Pine needles are longer than those of spruce. Needles grow on a branch two together. Cones are short, rounded.
There is a tree with unusual properties among coniferous trees - this larch. Like spruce and pine, larch has needles; in autumn, larch turns yellow and sheds needles like leaves, which is why it is called larch. In the spring, young needles reappear from the buds.
If there are both coniferous and deciduous trees in the forest, such a forest is called mixed.
Trees are the lungs of our planet. By absorbing harmful substances, trees release air and oxygen. Leaves hold fumes and soot. Trees need to be protected.
In the next lesson, the topic "Autumn in the life of plants" will be considered. In the course of the lesson, we will learn about the most important seasonal changes that occur with almost all plants. Let's see how autumn manifests itself, and then find out the role of autumn in plant life.

Deciduous and coniferous trees are always appropriate in decorating your summer cottage. In summer, they go well with flowers and lawns, leaving them in the shade, and in winter they save the garden from dullness with their bright color. They give clean air and aroma due to the content of essential oils. Modern gardeners no longer see their garden without green plants. There is a huge range of species of conifers, so there is plenty to choose from.
Evergreen spruce
Coniferous trees with the name "spruce" look very effective in the garden, both singly and in frequent plantings. Some gardeners build living fences from them. Spruce is now not only a huge crop with dry branches at the bottom and a narrow crown at the top, as we are used to seeing it. The number of thorny trees is regularly replenished with various varieties. In suburban areas spruce trees are most in demand, eg:
- acrocona. Reaches maturity 3 m in height and 4 in width;
- inversa. Barely this variety up to 2 meters wide and up to 7 meters high;
- Maxwellii. A small tree with a width and height not exceeding 2 meters;
- Nidiformus. Compact tree in width and height about 1.5 m;
- Glauca. Blue spruce.
Fir from the Pine family
Dark green fir needles are very soft. Young animals grow for a long time, but at the age of 10 years, development is much faster. Fir is a very popular tree, but many cannot answer whether it belongs to conifers or deciduous. Among gardeners 
varieties of fir are in special demand:
- Columnar fir;
- prostrale;
- Nana. Fir reaches a height of half a meter, and a meter wide, a flattened crown;
- Argenta. Silvery needles with a white tip;
- Glauca. Blue fir, wax coating on the needles;
- Veriegata. There are yellow spots on the needles.
Juniper from the Cypress family
Juniper in the list of conifers is famous for its bactericidal and medicinal properties, some varieties have fruits in the form of berries. The plant appeared in the world about 50 million years ago. There are about 80 varieties.
Among the variety of junipers there are both dwarfs of 20 cm and 40-meter giants. Each such plant has its own characteristics, not only with regards to the shape of the crown, but also in the rules for care. In summer cottages, the most common varieties are:
- Gold Horse. About 4 m high, a meter wide, the branches form a narrow conical shape;
- Hibernika. It reaches a height of about 4 m, the crown is a meter in diameter, columnar and very narrow, has blue inedible berries;
- Green carpet. Dwarf tree up to 50 cm high, one and a half meters in volume;
- Suecica. It reaches a height of up to 3.5 m, a width of up to a meter, a columnar crown.
Junipers are better plant away from fruit trees, because they are carriers of rust. Other cultures for the sake of prevention are separated by tall plants. The areas of branches affected by the disease are either cut off or treated with various fungicides.
cedar trees
Cedars are most often found in the parks of English manors, this is a large southern tree. Imi decorate the front door or a large lawn in front of the estate. These trees create an atmosphere of home comfort.
Cedars in their natural form are bulky, towering on the mountains. In height, such species grow up to 60 m. No one can say exactly how many species of cedar exist.
Some scientists are convinced that all individuals are the same and recognize only the Livonian breed, while others also distinguish Atlas, Himalayan and short-coniferous varieties. In the Catalog of Life, which includes all types of plants and animals, a description is given of all varieties, except for the short conifer.
Cedar has many varieties for design, which differ in color and size:
- Glauca. Tree with blue needles;
- Brevaramulosa. The cedar has long and sparse branches;
- Stricta. The tree has dense short branches;
- Pendula. Falling branches;
- Tortuosa. The difference is the winding branches;
- Nana and Nana Pyramidata. Dwarf trees, the latter variety is distinguished by branches tending upwards.
undersized cypress
An evergreen plant in appearance resembles a cypress, grows up to 80 meters in height. Scientists are trying to breed new varieties to please summer residents.
In landscape design, low varieties are often used to create fences, medium trees are planted singly, and dwarf trees are planted in mixborders or rock gardens. Cypress has very soft and fluffy needles. The needles are not prickly at all, it is pleasant to touch them.
The most popular are dwarf trees with a height below 4 meters. Among them stand out:
- Ericoides. A spear-shaped form of cypress up to 2 m high;
- Nana Gracilis. Round crown, tree grows up to half a meter;
- Ellwoodii. Pyramidal crown, trunk grows up to 2 meters;
- Minima Aurea. Dwarf plant, with a pyramidal rounded crown;
- compacta. Small compact tree with dense branches.
Dwarf varieties of cypress do not winter well. They do not freeze under the snow, but they can sweat. Be sure to keep an eye on the density of the snow cover.
Cypress varieties
Cypress in the wild appears to be an evergreen culture with a crown in the shape of a pyramid or cone, the trunk has a very thick bark, the foliage is pressed against the branches. About 30 varieties of cypress are known, of which about eight are highly popular in landscape design. Each species has its own conditions for care and cultivation rules. The most common varieties:
- Benthamii. Graceful hat and bluish needles;
- Lindleyi. It has large buds and bright green needles;
- ristis. Branches growing down, crown in the form of a column;
- Aschersoniana. Undersized look;
- compacta. Shrub with bluish needles;
- Сonica. The crown is like a pin, bluish needles with a haze that cannot stand frost;
- fastigiata. Bluish needles on a stocky tree;
- Glauca. Hat like a column, silver color of needles.
Slender tree - larch
Larch, judging by the name, like linden, is often attributed to deciduous. But it belongs to conifers, namely to the pine family. This is a fairly tall tree, it drops its needles.
In good conditions for growth, the tree can grow to a height of about 55 m, and a diameter of up to a meter.
The bark is very thick, covered with brownish grooves. The branches grow chaotically upwards, forming a cap in the form of a cone. The needles are very soft, green in color, as long as spruce. There are 15 types of wood. Some of the most popular among them are:
- weeping;
- corley. cushion tree;
- Kornik. Globular larch;
- Blue Dwar. A short tree with blue needles;
- Diana. It grows up to two meters, a spherical crown, branches in the form of spirals, green needles with a haze;
- Stiff Weepers. Elongated sprouts creep along the soil, needles with a bluish tint;
- Wolterdinger. Thick cap, dome-shaped, the development of the tree is very slow.
mountain pine
About 120 species of pines are known in the world. Pines differ from other conifers in their fragrant needles, which are located on the branches in bunches. Types of pines are determined depending on the number of needles.
The roots of the tree in the air dry out in about 20 minutes. They are best planted in early autumn or spring.
Scientists have bred many miniature trees for the garden. Huge varieties can be found in forest and park areas. And in summer cottages, low-growing species of pines look spectacular. Green bushes can be planted in rock gardens and mixborders. The most popular varieties of mountain pine are:
- Pine Dwarf, which grows up to 2 meters in height and crown diameter;
- columnaris. The bush grows to a height and width of three meters, it has thick and rather long needles;
- Mops. Due to the branches, the crown forms a ball shape;
- Mini Mops. Cushion-shaped bush;
- Globosa viridis. The bush is egg-shaped, needles up to 10 cm long.
decorative thuja
A small conifer found in many public gardens and parks. Plants are cultivated for decoration. Gardeners note the resistance of trees to dry weather, frosty periods and decay.
The thuja has thick roots, upward-growing branches that form pyramidal or columnar forms, dark leaves and small cones that ripen very quickly. Breeders brought creeping, dwarf and weeping species. Of these, the leader is the western arborvitae (occidentalis), which grow very quickly, reach a height of about 8 m, and a diameter of about 2 meters. The shrub is evergreen, only the Cloth of Gold variety with orange needles has differences, in winter with copper branches. Such specimens are best grown in the shade with neutral soil.
In Europe, thuja appeared and became popular thanks to the French king Francis the First. He loved unique plants and constantly planted them in his garden. He called Thuya the tree of life and planted large areas around his estate with it. Two hundred years later, the plant was cultivated in the east of Europe. In the wild, thuja can grow up to 40 m, so gardeners were sad when growing a tree from seeds and getting huge individuals.
Medium-sized variety Columna creates a dense narrow crown. It can be seen from afar by the dark green shiny needles, which do not change all seasons. The tree is resistant to frost and does not require maintenance.
The Holmstrup variety is ideal for small gardens: it is small, with a lush conical crown and rich green color. The grade is steady against frosts, well transfers pruning of branches. In young specimens, they form into a narrow cone, but straighten out with age. Green needles, glossy. When leaving, you will need constantly moist soil.
Cryptomeria - the national tree of Japan
It is found on the slopes of mountains, in wild forest areas and in park alleys. Cryptomeria belongs to conifers, can grow up to 60 m, and the trunk in girth reaches 2 meters.
The needles have a dark or light shade, the branches create a lush, thick hat. The needles are sometimes stained red or yellow. In appearance, they are in the form of an awl, but they do not prick when touched. They have small brownish bumps. Cryptomeria belongs to the cypress family, it does not have varieties. The connection with the east at the tree is explained by its different name.
People among themselves call the tree "Japanese cedar", although they do not have any common properties among themselves. The tree is royal in nature, very majestic, so it is difficult to imagine it as a shrub grown in a summer cottage or in an apartment space. But scientists who are engaged in the creation of new varieties have taken care of this. Now there are many dwarf forms of cryptomeria that do not grow above two meters.
When choosing evergreen decorations for your summer cottage, you need to know the types of existing trees, understand their pace of development and the required care. After all, instead of decorating in your backyard, you can get an unnecessary huge tree that will shade all the plants in the circle.
