Also known as Tamarack, Hackmatack, and Eastern Larch, this medium-sized tree that grows 40-80 feet tall and 15-30 feet wide. Often found growing in bogs and other wet areas in the wild, this coniferous tree is unusual in that it is deciduous; its small needles turn bright yellow in the fall before they are shed. It grows best in full sun—though it can tolerate light shade—and in moist, well-drained, acidic soils.
