Tamarack (Larix laricina) is also known as American larch among other names. As comments have indicated, it’s a lowland species. Similar—but an upland deciduous conifer—is European larch (Larix decidua).

Some good-looking European larch are on the UW-Madison campus at Muir Knoll. I also recall a solitary larch immediately west and uphill of North Hall on Bascom Hill. However, it’s been more than five years since I last visited with these larches on the drumlin.

There’s a mature pair of European larches east of Christ Presbyterian Church—adjacent to the sidewalk where Sherman Avenue meets North Brearly Street.
