Little personnel is a phenomenal wood breed, it owns countless useful qualities, is extensive used in different homework. For example, the density of the larch tree is actually in no way inferior to the oak, moreover, larch, under conditions of good quality drying, does not really rot, which can not be said about other wood breeds. All this performs structures from larch strong and reliable.
Use larch in the construction of ships. And the thing is that the composition of its wood has a special substance – gum, it protects the tree from the negative effects of water, protects from marine animals that can pave another tree, concrete, and also mountain soft rocks.
There is a larch and many minuses. Namely, it is heavy in the decoration, and if it is not wrong to dry, it can crack or crumble. This is committed because of the existing gum in the composition of the tree. To prevent this from happening, the larch must be kept in the room with a high degree of air moisture, or soak until the gum is completely removed.
Larch is used not only in construction work, but also in the manufacture of paper and cellulose. But, similar characteristics, as the hardness of the breed and the small content of cellulose in it, perform such an application of very limited.
In medicine, the larch is also used. Namely, the needles of wood are rich in vitamin C, from fruit bodies that are formed when the wood -forming mushroom is influenced by a “larch sponge”, a bitter ointment in the taste of obvious therapeutic qualities comes out.
The larch is extensive in the manufacture of paints and varnishes, as well as in soapworking. This became possible due to the large content of the resins in the larch, who own the properties necessary for these areas.
But, the content of resins in any specified tree is not the same, individual trunks give a small output of the resin, complicate the formation of wood suction, which means, and the possibility of its use.
The larch tree stands out by achievements such as a strong wood root system, the ability to grow in height, the ability and unpretentiousness of growing even in very harsh climate conditions. Thanks to these superiority, larch is excellent for this purpose, such as a forestry to protect the fields, and also planting trees to protect the soil from erosion.
