Definition
Describing trees and shrubs that produce cones and typically have needle-like or scale-like leaves that remain green year-round. Most conifers are evergreen and well-adapted to cold or dry conditions.
Etymology
From Latin 'conifer' meaning 'cone-bearing,' from 'conus' (cone) and 'ferre' (to bear). The term entered English in the mid-18th century as botanical classification systems developed to distinguish cone-bearing plants from other tree types.
Kelly Says
Conifers are among Earth's oldest and largest living things! Some bristlecone pines are over 4,000 years old, while giant sequoias can live over 3,000 years and grow taller than 300 feet - they were already ancient when the pyramids were built.
