The Canadian larch, botanically known as Larix occidentalis, is the largest of the larch species. It grows in the south of Canada in British Columbia, along the eastern slopes of the North Cascades further in the USA in Washington and Oregon. Canadian larch wood is durable, strong and hard, and its lumber is used for a variety of construction joinery and carpentry products. Canadian larch trees reach a height of up to 60 meters with a trunk diameter of up to 2 meters. It grows in a relatively humid and cold climate zone, thanks to which there are small increments of annual rings and higher wood density.
