Abstract
This dataset contains original phenotypic trait data for individual seedlings from a common garden experiment of western larch with two drought treatments and a control. The data includes height growth, bud flush and bud set dates, canopy loss, and fluorescence values collected during the 2021 & 2022 growing season.

Description of the data and file structure
This dataset contains original phenotypic trait data for individual seedlings from a common garden experiment of western larch with two drought treatments and a control. The data includes height growth, bud flush and bud set dates, canopy loss, and fluorescence values collected during the 2021 & 2022 growing season. Please see the manuscript by Roskilly et al. (2026) for details on how trait data was collected. Geographic coordinates and source climates for natural populations can be found in Table S1.
