What does LARCH mean in Scrabble?
noun
A coniferous tree of the genus Larix, with soft needle-like leaves that turn yellow and drop in autumn, unlike most conifers.
A larch behaves unlike almost every other cone-bearing tree because it sheds its needles every year rather than staying evergreen, so a larch forest turns a striking gold before going bare in winter. The wood is prized for being unusually tough and resistant to rot for a softwood, which made it a common choice for fence posts, boat hulls, and railway sleepers. Several species grow across the cooler parts of the Northern Hemisphere, from the European larch of the Alps to varieties native to Siberia and North America.
