Hybridization of Larix Occidentalis and Larix Lyallii

The present study is the first phase of a long-term project initiated by the Forestry School of the University of Montana, the goal of which is to study the genetics of western larch in terms of wood production and quality potential. The objectives of the present study are: (1) to produce, by artificial means, hybrids between western larch and subalpine larch; (2) to study the morphology of western larch and subalpine larch; and (3) to locate natural hybrids that may exist in an area of species overlap.
