What's a Conifer?

For a long time we've had discussions in our office, do we just call them "Evergreens?" Which is probably the word you learned for christmas-type trees when you were in grade school. The forester in the office has politely over the years, tried to educate us, so, we figured we'd share that knowledge with you. Technically a Conifer is a tree that produces cones and has needle-like leaves. This year we have 10 different varieties of Conifers available on our tree order form.

Fast Trivia Question - can you tell me a name of a decidious conifer? (no, we don't have them available this year, but we have offered them in the past.) Send me an email for the answer...
