 As winter begins to take hold of the land, we often look to conifers that stay green all year round for comfort. Except, there’s one conifer that actually drops its needles in the fall! Learn about why the Larch breaks the mold and the importance far northern humans give this tree despite not being an evergreen. Music is by Academy Garden.
