This autumn I saw the cones on Pseudolarix amabilis (golden larch, false larch, golden pine) for the first time. This is a slow-growing, deciduous tree with whorls of light green, linear leaves, which turn bright golden-yellow in autumn.

At the Beth Chatto Garden, Essex, UK, the whorls of needles of Pseudolarix amabilis (golden larch, false larch) are turning golden-yellow. This deciduous conifer is a monotypic genus producing a medium-sized tree and needing neutral or acidic soil conditions.
