Family Pinaceae

Larix decidua ‘Diana’, also known as European Larch ‘Diana’, is a very singular ornamental selection, recognized for its spiral habit and gracefully twisted branches, which give it a unique sculptural and whimsical appearance. Like all larches, it is a deciduous conifer, whose soft green needles turn golden in the fall before falling. In winter, its tormented framework becomes a true element of living architecture, perfect for winter gardens, rockeries or solitary plantings. Very hardy, it tolerates cold, wind and well-drained soils well, while offering exceptional visual interest in all four seasons. ‘Diana’ is an original, durable and striking conifer, perfect for refined landscapes and the harsh climates of Quebec.
