Female Flower of European Larch

Female Flower of European Larch

Larch Trees (Larix decidua) are very common in all of the Low Beskid. They have a high tolerance for cold temperatures and their seeds are an important food source for many species of birds. Both male and female flowers develop on the same tree in spring along with new bright green foliage. Female flowers are bright red and turn green with age. Smaller, male flowers are round and yellow.

That's interesting

that both male and female flowers
grow on the same tree. Does the
European Larch turn GOLD in autumn?
They must be really pretty to view
and observe thoughout the year.

Re: That's interesting

Yes, the needles of European Larch turn gold in autumn and later fall off. Greetings, Henryk.
