Introduction to larch growth

Larix gmelinii is a tree species native to cold temperate and temperate zones. It is naturally distributed and cultivated in northern China, mainly in Northeast China, in the Greater and Lesser Khingan Mountains. It is also distributed in Russia.

Larch growth cycle

Larch is highly photophilic and grows best on north-facing gentle slopes with deep soil and good drainage. It can also grow on sunny slopes in dry and barren mountainous areas, but its fertility is poor. Larch has a long lifespan of 250-400 years.

Larch growth cycle management

Temperature management: Larch is best planted in an environment of 7-8 degrees, requiring a minimum temperature of around 9 degrees, while the maximum temperature it can withstand is between 28 and 33 degrees.

Fertilization management : Larix gmelinii is generally fertilized once in June and August, and the fertilizer is applied by digging a hole about 30 cm away from the root of the tree. The soil is loosened and weeded once every 20 days, and the depth of the loosened soil should reach 5 cm.
