Larch

[iamjulian]

Hello. Trees on the Welsh border. The one on the right I am reasonably confident for Common Larch (Larix decidua), but what about the one on the left? Trees were far apart. Looked similar, though high canopy into bright light so difficult to tell. Found three or four trees like the one on the right and the cones were consistently elongated. Everything dropped from the tree on the left was decidedly round, larger scales. Not turned out at the ends like Japanese Larch. Both Common? Or something different? I am puzzled. Any help much appreciated, thanks.

On the left could be Dunkeld, they look similar trees. Glad to see you found Larch in Wales!  K

Thanks, Khriss.  Welsh border, but about a mile from Wales, sorry. Dunkeld looks possible, but I read that the Japanese larch is dominant in the cross and the Dunkeld cones have the same turned out scales as the Japanese? I'll go back in better light and have a look at the actual tree.
