Does anyone know what this tree might be? Whorls are about 2-5 cm across. The tree is about 3 metres tall. Growing in North Vancouver in the garden of a tree collector (former owner, so no available info from current owner).
Good suggestion, but most of that species I recall had much more upright needle whorls - like small pincushions. The ones on this tree are pretty flat. Could certainly be some sort of Larch, though.
Compare against this one? Alpine Larch, Hackmatack, Lyall's Larch, Montana Larch, Mountain Larch, Subalpine Larch, Tamarack, Western Larch: Larix occidentalis (Synonym: Larix lyallii)
Had a suggestion from Harold Greer that I think nailed it - Pseudolarix amabilis Thanks for the feedback!
Yep, Pseudolarix amabilis - it forms much longer spur shoots than Larix spp. do. As an aside, of course not an evergreen!
