Japanese larch buds open in early May, following which it takes three weeks for the leaves to extend on short shoots. Some researchers therefore insist that larch windbreaks are ineffective in spring. However, a review of the pamphlet, survey on arable land windbreaks in 1994 in Tokachi sub-prefecture revealed that deciduous larch windbreaks protecting against westward foehn winds during the spring cultivation season had been evaluated as highly effective by forestry personnel of Hokkaido Government on Tokachi plain, eastern Hokkaido.
