Looks like my kaempferi cones. Soft green, unlike the purplish and more elongated cones on Japanese x European larch.

Thanks Beng. It's good to know that something is what I was told it is. This was from a batch of understocks and I planted one and glad I did.

Take care,

Dax

Looks more like Larix gmelinii or perhaps L. principis-rupprechtii to me.

L. kaempferi has larger cones with more numerous scales, with the scale tips curved outwards.
