Unlike Japanese larch and white pine, defoliated bear oak seedlings showed very little response to partial defoliation. |
The transition from native forest is sudden, yet the larch plantation has its own beauty, as the track drops steeply to the Pudding Hill stream. |
The trees include willow, cherry, poplar, acers, larch, ash, birch, sycamore, elder and sitka spruce. |
Spindle-thin trunks of Douglas fir and western larch stood in anemic, dying thickets, toppling like the flagpoles of small, failed nations. |
Doors and windows were made from local larch and robinia cut in small sections and relatively short lengths, using wood which is normally wasted. |
Triple glazed, they are made of oak and larch with a layer of cork in the centre. |
