What is a coniferous tree?

Answer 1

CONIFERS - "Conifer" is derived from Latin meaning "to bear cones". Cones are sort of like a flower. One way of identifying a conifer is to look at the leaves - neeedles or scale-like. Conifers are usually evergreen trees or shrubs with linear, needle-like or scale-like leaves, though some, like larch or tamarack, drop their leaves (deciduous) in autumn. Among the conifers are some of the smallest, largest and oldest living woody plants known.

examples includes:

COLORADO SPRUCE
MOUNTAIN PINE
WESTERN RED CEDAR
etc... most evergreen trees.

Answer 2

A coniferous tree has small and waxy leaves, sometimes needles. A Christmas tree is a prime example of a coniferous tree.

Answer 3

Coniferous trees have small and waxy leaves, sometimes needles, which are usually kept all year. There is more variety in the shape that coniferous trees grow to from bushes and shrubs to great big trees. Look out for these next time you are out and about.

Since they keep their leaves all year, they're often referred to as "evergreens".

Some examples include:
Pine, Fir, Spruce, Hemlock, Cedar, Cypress, and Yew.

Answer 4

A tree with needles instead of leaves. Pines and spruces are types of coniferous trees.

Answer 5

The conifers, division Pinophyta, also known as division Coniferae, are one of 13 or 14 division level taxa within the Kingdom Plantae. They are cone-bearing seed plants with vascular tissue; all extant conifers are woody plants, the great majority being trees with just a few being shrubs. Typical examples of conifers include cedars, cypresses, douglas-firs, firs, junipers, kauris, larches, pines, redwoods, spruces, and yews. Species of conifers can be found growing naturally in almost all parts of the world, and are frequently dominant plants in their habitats, as in the taiga, for example. Conifers are of immense economic value, primarily for timber and paper production; the wood of conifers is known as softwood.
