Dahurian Larch (Larix gmelinii), also called Olga Bay Larch, is among the cold hardiest trees in the world and can survive temperatures near −70°C. It is native to Siberia and northern parts of Mongolia, China, and Korea.

Like other larches, it is a deciduous conifer that sheds its needles after they turn yellow orange in fall. One recorded specimen in Yakutia was more than 900 years old.

How to stratify seed

In the fridge. Put the seed in a bag with a damp medium such as peat moss, vermiculite, sand or coco coir. The medium is only there to hold moisture. Keep the bag in the fridge, above freezing, for the cold period shown, then sow.

Or outside. Sow the seed outdoors in the fall and let winter do the cold period.
