This is Finland’s tallest tree, a European larch (Larix decidua), soaring over 40 meters high in the Punkaharju Arboretum. Planted in the late 1800s, this giant stands as a testament to the arboretum’s long history of tree cultivation and research.

The Punkaharju Arboretum[1] is located approximately 7 km north of Punkaharju on State Route 14 towards Savonlinna in Finland. It provides information about forestry-useful and native tree species in Finland. The extensive forests and scenic beauty here at Punkaharju (Os) prompted the then ruler, the Russian Tsar Alexander I, to develop forestry and tourism here in the 18th century. Clear, online maps[2][3] provide information about the location of the arboretum, thematic trails, historic buildings, and the Finnish Museum and Science Center for Forest Culture LUSTO[4] in the surrounding area.
