I was at Plymouth Plantation today and snagged this cone off a larch tree. I think I have an American Larch. The middle is a Japanese and the right side is a European for reference.
American Larch Cone Confirmation
Neefman, I have read the Masters Resin and Viburnum Valley's comments so long now, I believe I'm getting quite credible too in my identification skills. With all due respect, I'm quite confident to confirm for you; those are indeed cones.
Dunkeld Larch Larix × marschlinsii (hybrid between European and Japanese)
Tamarack Larch cones are tiny - almost always under 2 cm long, often just 1 cm long.

LOL!
Conifer trivia: What conifer has the smallest cones?
A: Male Juniperus virginiana
Mipii, can't you read my mind? I just assumed everyone knew I meant megastrobilus. Geez, do I have to explain everything! ;)
Good stuff, everyone. Thanks!
Lol...apparently!
That's one mighty small strobilus Resin!
The mega is micro on this conifer. Is anyone using it?
That's too immature for me to take a stab at. Some sort of pine is all I got.
Pinus parviflora

That is correct. Do you see any P. pumila or is the cone too immature to possibly make that kind of distinction? It was sold to me as P. parviflora 'Nigishi', but I read somewhere it is actually a cross between parviflora and pumila. It was promoted as being a very slow grower, which is why I sited it next to the house. This one actually came through winter quite well, which leads me to my next conifer theory...
No sign of any P. pumila in it that I can see!

Oh ok, cool
