Young terminal stems are thin, flexible, and reddish brown in color and slightly ridged with the decurrent bases of the singly borne needles. Two-year-old stems are more deeply ridged by the old leaf bases and bear large numbers of small gray spurs. Numerous spurs are formed on older growth. The reddish brown stem color helps to distinguish this species from the yellow-brown to gray stems of Larix decidua.
