Stirniškiai Kuril Larch is a rare tree species in Lithuania, brought from the Kuril Islands and planted in the early 19th century by Bogdan Komar, the then-owner of Komar Manor. This unique tree is located in the Palėvenė Manor Park, which is part of the scenic Lėvens Landscape Reserve. The Kuril Larch stands 11 meters tall, with a trunk circumference of 1.50 meters at a height of 1.3 meters. Unlike other conifers, larches shed all their needles each autumn and regrow fresh, soft needles in the spring. The Kuril Larch is distinctive
among its genus for its broad, one-sided crown. Visitors to the Palėvenė Manor Park can admire this rare and remarkable tree, which contributes to the biodiversity and historical richness of the area. The park itself is a must-see destination for nature enthusiasts and those interested in botanical diversity. Exploring the Stirniškiai Kuril Larch offers a unique opportunity to connect with nature and witness a living piece of history in Lithuania. Don't miss the chance to visit this exceptional natural monument!
