Japanese Larch Bonsai Tree, scientific name Larix leptolepis or Larix kaempferi, is a deciduous, fast-growing tree native to north America. It has light green needle-like leaves and is great for most of the bonsai styles.
This tree is very hardy and needs to be grown outdoors. Unusual for decideous conifers, cones are purplish in color and are quite small and seem in proportion to most sizes of bonsai.
