Larch is a conifer, but it loses its needles every fall. I know of two wild species in the west and one in the east. Larix occidentalis -- western larch, sometimes called tamarack Larix lyallii -- subalpine larch I've seen it at elevations over 8000 feet. Larix laricina -- eastern larch, often called tamarack People who live in larch country are treated to their turning gold in the fall. You can pick out individual trees from five miles away, they are so outstanding. It is truly beautiful. The wood was and may still be sold together which Douglas-fir in the Rocky Mountains. Larch is a little harder and splinters easier, and is harder to work with. I've only seen the Blue Ridge country once, and I understand your love for it. If I had to live in the east and could choose, that's where I'd live.
