Pseudolarix Kaempferi

Golden larch, scientifically known as Pseudolarix kaempferi, is a striking evergreen conifer native to eastern Asia. This tree is renowned for its vibrant golden foliage, which turns a brilliant yellow in the fall before shedding, giving it a unique seasonal display. Despite its name, the golden larch is not a true larch but belongs to the Taxaceae family, which includes yews. It is often cultivated in gardens and parks for its ornamental value and resilience in various climates. Its historical use in traditional medicine and as a symbol in Chinese culture further highlights its significance.
