Certified ExpertA.If you have been experiencing extremes in temperatures, such as much warmer weather, then the tree could be stressed, which would make it go into dormancy early to survive. Other than keeping it well watered, there is little else you can do but it should recover on its own. Another possibility could be insects (which would most likely affect the area nearest the crown) or some type of fungus.

Hamilton,Ont. CanadaQ.larch tree
I am concerned that our 10 year old larch has no greening as of today(May 12,2017).When I scrapped the bark to see if it was green underneath it is.I am wondering if this rainy colder spring had delayed the growth.Other larches I have seen have their new needles.

May 15, 2017A.Certainly weather conditions, ground temperatures and moisture levels can cause delays in trees greening and leafing out.
Our other trees in the area growing yet? Have you check soil moisture?
Do the branches bend or snap off? If the branches snap they are not alive.
A tree can die off for sometimes unknown reasons.

zone 3 CanadaQ.Browning of larch needles in summer
I have two coniferous larch trees that the needles are turning brown and falling off, even though they have healthy new growth on each branch. I cannot figure out why as I have two very close neighbors whose larch trees look great. I planted these trees about four yrs ago. Sorry no photos!

July 5, 2017A.There can be a few reasons for browning of Larch Tree needles; from pests to a few diseases.
It may take further inspections to determine the issue.
These links may help with diagnosis.https://www.extension.umn.edu/garden/diagnose/plant/evergreen/larch/yellowedneedles.html
http://msue.anr.msu.edu/news/tamaracks_are_looking_brownI would also suggest talking with your County Extension Office to see if any regional issues are known.

99216Q.Larch Tree Loosing Bark
My 20 year old larch tree appears healthy. Every year, in the spring, it greens up and adds several feet to its height. Every fall the needles turn yellow and fall off. It has been shedding its bark for the last several years and is showing a thinner red colored bark where the gray bark has shed. We have lots of this tree in our area and I have not seen any of the forest trees with this same condition. Is this normal for a tree living in an suburban environment? Tree is about 60' tall and 16" across at the base.

Certified ExpertA.Hm. This is not typical. It could indicate a few different issues. Fungal issues, or sunscald are most common. Usually, it is not fatal, and the tree will live with it just fine.
