Larix Gmelinii Subsp. Prostrata

Larix gmelinii subsp. prostrata is a unique variant of the Siberian larch known for its distinctive prostrate growth habit. This subspecies thrives in harsh environments, often found in cold, dry regions of eastern Siberia. Its low, spreading form allows it to survive in areas with strong winds and permafrost. The tree produces cones and has needle-like leaves that turn yellow in autumn. It plays an important ecological role in stabilizing soil and supporting local wildlife.
