Larch

Plant a Larch (Larix decidua) in one of our Irish forests and bring seasonal beauty and biodiversity to the landscape. Unlike most conifers, the Larch is deciduous—turning a brilliant golden yellow in autumn before shedding its needles for winter. With a lifespan of 200–300 years, it provides seeds for birds, shelter for wildlife, and long-lasting ecological value. By planting a Larch, you are helping Ireland’s forests grow stronger, more diverse, and more resilient.
