Descrição:

2010.04.09 Lower Austria, district Neunkirchen, Rax northern flank/Wachthttlkamm (~1060 m AMSL).Habitus shot of a rather young tree, but yet the "layer"- or "storey-like" structure of twigs is obvious, and the peak is stump.Also, even at this distance the long needles clearly are noticeable.Note that Larix decidua (right hand side of the photo) is not growing straight upwards, as you can easily check when looking at that small Picea abies just to its left which grows straight towards the sky.German name: Schwarz-Fhre
