Popis: Two larches, the European larch (Larix decidua) and the Japanese larch (L. leptolepis), together with the hybrid between them (L. × eurolepis), are still important forest trees in Great Britain. As European larch is very susceptible to canker (caused by Lachnellula willkommii (Trichoscyphella willkommii)) and dieback, it is now little planted. Therefore, it has been overtaken in importance by the Japanese and hybrid larches. Hybrid larch would be more often planted if sufficient seed could be obtained. More European larch would also be planted in some areas if seed of the Sudeten provenances resistant to canker was more readily available.
