Japanese larch (Larix leptolepis (Sieb. et. zucc.) Gord.), European larch (Larix decidua Miller), and their hybrid, the Dunkeld larch, are fast-growing conifers adapted to northern climates. At Cooxrox Forest in New York, these larches have been planted since 1930. Good trees in this location have attained growth of over 2 feet in height and 1 inch in diameter per year, up to age 30 (Cook 1966). In southern Michigan, trees averaged 4 to 5 inches in diameter at age 19 (Barnes 1977). European larch and the European x Japanese hybrid are also recommended for planting in Ontario (Holst 1970).
