The larch can tolerate cold temperatures better than any tree in North America which is why you'll find it in the northernmost regions of the continent.
I suppose I'm biased since we've nurtured several nice stands of tamarack on the tree farm. They're well-suited to some of the soil types and are thriving. They sport some crazy branches that would almost make you think they belong in a Dr. Seuss story but the part I like best is the fall color found in this species.
The needles turn a blazing golden color - then they drop. It's done. In the spring the tree grows an entire new set of needles and begins the process all over again.
