Larix laricina, commonly known as the tamarack, [3] hackmatack, [3] eastern larch, [3] black larch, [3] red larch, [3] or American larch, [3] is a species of larch native to Canada, from eastern Yukon and Inuvik, Northwest Territories east to Newfoundland, and also south into the upper northeastern United States from Minnesota to Cranesville Swamp, West Virginia; there is also an isolated ...
The seed cones, 2.5 to 4 centimeters (1 to 1 + 1 ⁄ 2 in) long, are red-purple when young but become dark brown with age. They have thin scales and narrow bracts that extend over the scales. The pollen and seed cones become active in early summer. [3] The bark is about 2.5 cm thin [3] and turns from yellow-gray to dark red-brown with age. It ...
Those native to northern regions have small cones (1–3 cm or 1 ⁄ 2 –1 in) with short bracts, with more southerly species tending to have longer cones (3–9 cm or 1 + 1 ⁄ 4 – 3 + 1 ⁄ 2 in), often with exserted bracts, with the longest cones and bracts produced by the southernmost species, in the Himalayas. The seeds are winged.

Tamarack is a common name for Larix laricina, a medium-size species of larch tree native to North America. Tamarack may also refer to: Trees.
The seed cones are ovoid-cylindric, 2 to 5 cm (3 ⁄ 4 to 2 in) long, with 40 to 80 seed scales; each scale bearing an exserted 4 to 8 mm (3 ⁄ 16 to 5 ⁄ 16 in) bract. The cones are green [5] to reddish purple when immature, turning brown and the scales opening flat or reflexed to release the seeds when mature, four to six months after ...
Most trees native to the Canadian boreal are conifers, with needle leaves and cones. These include: black spruce, white spruce, balsam fir, larch (tamarack), lodgepole pine, and jack pine. A few are broad-leaved species: trembling and large-toothed aspen, cottonwood and white birch, and balsam poplar. [24]
The distinguishing characteristic is the reproductive structure known as a cone produced by all Pinales. All of the extant conifers, such as Araucaria, cedar, celery-pine, cypress, fir, juniper, kauri, larch, pine, redwood, spruce, and yew, are included here.
