In Finland it grows successfully only in the richest and warmest sites in the south of the country.<\/p>\n<p>It is most easily distinguished from other larches by its cones, where the seed bracts extend beyond the cone scales. It is narrower in habit than the other larches and large-growing, achieving heights of 40-50m.<\/p>\n<p>Growing western larch at Mustila has proved difficult. Of older plantings there is only a single specimen which can be described as a proper tree, on P\u00e4hkin\u00e4rinne (Hazelnut Slope). More recent trials from the 1980s seem to indicate that it might be possible to find provenances suitable for Finland.<\/p>\n<aside id=\"keywords\">\n<h2>Keywords<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"ryhmittely\">Havupuut<\/li>\n<li class=\"plants\"><a href=\"\" hreflang=\"und\">Larix<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"plants\"><a href=\"\" hreflang=\"und\">Larix occidentalis<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"location\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mustila.fi\/alueet\/nokkala\" hreflang=\"fi\">Nokkala<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"location\"><a href=\"\" hreflang=\"fi\">Onnela<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"location\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mustila.fi\/alueet\/pahkinarinne\" hreflang=\"fi\">P\u00e4hkin\u00e4rinne<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/aside>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":7308,"template":"","alueet":[997,1076,1065],"kasvilajit":[1086,1291],"class_list":["post-15297","kasvit","type-kasvit","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","alueet-nokkala-en","alueet-onnela-en","alueet-phkinrinne-en","kasvilajit-conifers","kasvilajit-larix"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mustila.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kasvit\/15297","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mustila.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kasvit"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mustila.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/kasvit"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mustila.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7308"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mustila.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15297"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"alueet","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mustila.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/alueet?post=15297"},{"taxonomy":"kasvilajit","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mustila.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kasvilajit?post=15297"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
