Does your tree have... Soft, DECIDUOUS needles growing <span class="highlight">in</span> <span class="highlight">clusters</span> of many needles? (These needles that are shed <span class="highlight">in</span> the fall) If so, GO TO #16. OR EVERGREEN needles that grow <span class="highlight">in</span> bundles of 2-5? These needles stay on the twig through the winter) If so, GO TO #17.

You have a LARCH. Larches have their needles <span class="highlight">in</span> <span class="highlight">clusters</span> of many needles. These soft, needle-like leaves are shed each year <span class="highlight">in</span> the fall so the tree appears bare, except for the cones, through the winter. There are many larch species including the Tamarack (eastern larch), western larch, European larch, and subalpine larch. Please take your tree sample to your teacher and he/she will let you know if you have correctly identified your mystery tree.
