Larch is a softwood and a deciduous conifer.
To my knowledge, any deciduous tree ( A tree that loses it's leaves in the winter) is considered a hardwood. Even the Tulip Poplar tree that is most often mistaken for a softwood, is a hardwood tree.
what do the leaves look like on a hardwood tree
Hardwood comes from trees with wide leaves, while softwood comes from conifers like cypress and pines. The chestnut tree is a hardwood tree.
It is a tree that loses its leaves in the fall. : )
deciduous
A tree that loses and regrows leaves each year is called aDeciduous Tree
Softwood tree leaves are typically needle-like or scale-like in structure. They are usually narrow, with a pointed tip, and can be either clustered together in bundles (as in pine trees) or attached individually to the branch. Softwood trees, such as pines, firs, and spruces, tend to have leaves that are evergreen and stay on the tree year-round.
Hardwood trees have broad leaves and are angiosperms, while softwood trees have needle-like or scale-like leaves and are gymnosperms. Hardwood trees are typically deciduous, shedding their leaves annually, while softwood trees are usually evergreen, keeping their foliage year-round. Additionally, hardwood trees are generally denser and slower growing compared to softwood trees.
Deciduous.
My best guess would be softwood, because most Alaskan conifers are classified as softwood.
A deciduous tree loses it's leaves before winter.
