This rare tree in Lithuania was brought from the Kuril Islands and planted by Bogdanas Komaras, the owner of the Palėvenė (Komarai) Manor, in the beginning of the 19th century. The tree grows in the Palėvenė (Komarai) manor park located in the Lėvuo Landscape Reserve. The height of the tree is 11 m, the trunk girth at a height of 1.3 m is 1.50 m. Larch trees, in contrast to other conifers, shed all their needles every autumn and turn green with new soft needles in the spring. Kurilian larches are distinguished from other trees of their genus by a wide one-sided canopy.
