Pseudolarix amabilis 'Nana' is a small, upright tree-form of golden larch that resembles the species in all ways with the exception of its slightly slower growth rate. After 10 years of growth, a mature specimen will measure 6 feet (2 m) tall and 4.5 feet (1.5 m) wide, an annual growth rate of 4 to 6 inches (10 - 15 cm).
This cultivar originated as a named, wild-collected specimen(s) found in China long ago. The cultivar name was first published as Pseudolarix amabilis var. nana in 1891 by Ludwig Beissner in Handbuch der Nadelhölzekunde.
