Description
One of two basic types of trees; the other is broad-leaves. Conifer trees, or evergreens, belong to the Coniferales group and are native to temperate climates of the northern hemisphere. Conifers have needle-like leaves and bear cones. Turpentine and resin are obtained from many conifer trees. The softwood trees are used for papermaking and construction. Examples of conifers are Pine, Larch, Fir, Yew, Sequoia, Redwood, Cypress, Juniper, cedar, and Spruce.
