Siberian larch (Larix sibirica)

Siberian larch, scientifically known as Larix sibirica, is a coniferous tree species that is abundant in the subarctic region of Siberia and Central Asia. It is also sometimes referred to as Larix russica or Larix intermedia. Its evergreen leaves are needle-shaped and develop nut-like fruits in September to October. However, the Siberian larch is mostly used for its wood, which has a number of specific characteristics that make it suitable for many practical uses. It is a very durable and hard wood with a high durability.

Siberian larch provides wood that is an important raw material source. Because of its durability and high hardness, it is a popular material in the furniture industry. It is also used in the construction industry, especially for the manufacture of wooden structures and elements such as floors, beams, mouldings, stairs and others. Due to its high content of certain resinous substances, Siberian larch wood is also resistant to rot. Another use is in the paper industry - the wood is used to obtain pulp, which is an important raw material for paper production. Last but not least, Siberian larch wood is also used as fuel, as it burns brightly and provides plenty of heat.
