Abstract

Two larches, the European larch (Larix decidua) and the Japanese larch (L. kaempferi, syn. L. leptolepis) together with the hybrid between them (L. × eurolepis) are important forest trees. As European larch is very susceptible to canker (caused by Lachnellula willkommii) and dieback, it is now little planted. It has therefore been overtaken in importance by the Japanese and hybrid larches. Hybrid larch would be more often planted if sufficient seed could be obtained. More European larch would also be planted in some areas if seed of the Sudeten provenances resistant to canker was more readily available.
