Japanese larch differs from the European larch (L. decidua) in having larger and more widely spaced branches on a more massive trunk, resulting in a more open form, and in having reddish winter shoots.
Its bright green needles are slightly larger than those of the European larch. Golden larch becomes a large pyramidal tree with an ultimate height of about 50 feet in cultivation. Its broad, horizontal branches are arranged in an open growth habit.
