“The Larch-tree, with us, groweth slowly, and to be found in few places; it hath a rugged bark, and boughts that branch in good order⟳, with divers small yellowish bunched eminences, set⟳ thereon at several distances, from whence tufts of many small, long, and narrow smooth leaves do yearly come⟳ forth; it beareth among the green leaves many beautiful flowers, which are of a fine crimson colour […]”

“1716, Nicholas Rowe (translator), The Ninth Book of Lucan in John Dryden, Miscellany Poems, London: Jacob Tonson, Volume 6, p. 67, The Gummy Larch-Tree, and the Thapsos there, Wound-wort and Maiden-weed, perfume the Air.”

“Thus the Birch Canoe was builded In the valley, by the river, In the bosom of the forest; And the forest’s life was in it, All its mystery and its magic, All the lightness of the birch-tree, All the toughness of the cedar, All the larch’s supple sinews;”

“Joan was thinking: ‘She looks like⟳ a tree […] it must be the green dress. But her eyes are like⟳ water, all greeny and shadowy and deep looking—a tree near a pool, that’s what she’s like⟳, a tall tree. A beech tree? No, that’s too spready—a larch tree, that’s Elizabeth; a larch tree just greening over.'”

“During the early 1980s to early 1990s, and especially in the long drought period of 1982-3, extensive fires swept through natural forests in many parts of the world. While the ravaging fires in Australia and Europe received wide media coverage, 1 million hectares of larch forests were wiped out on the Ta-hsing-an-ling mountain in north-eastern China (H. Tagawa, personal communication).”

“Old Peter was up early too, harnessing the little yellow horse into the old cart. The cart was of rough wood, without springs, like⟳ a big box fixed on long larch poles between two pairs of wheels. The larch poles did instead of springs, bending and creaking, as the cart moved over the forest track.”
