Hybrid Larch<br />

Larix x marschlinsii<br />

The Hybrid Larch L. x marschlinsii arose in<br />

Scotl<strong>and</strong> as a hybrid between European Larch<br />

<strong>and</strong> the introduced Japanese Larch.<br />

It was found to be hardier <strong>and</strong> faster growing<br />

than either parent <strong>and</strong> so has become the most<br />

commonly planted larch.<br />

It can be distinguished by its long cones with<br />

recurved bracts whereas the European Larch<br />

has oval cones with straight bracts.
