Conifers

What are Conifers?

Conifers are a group of plants that are characterised by their needle-like or scale-like leaves and cones as their reproductive structures. They are mostly evergreen trees and shrubs that are found in temperate and boreal regions of the world. Some common examples of conifers include pine, fir, spruce, cedar, and cypress trees. They are important for their economic value as a source of timber, paper, and other products, as well as their ecological value as habitats for wildlife and for their role in regulating the global climate.
