Conifers
Pinus radiata
The Conifers are characterized by their cones. The majority of conifers are large, tall trees with a wide crown, but some also form shrubs and bushes.
In many countries forests are dominated by conifers, especially in cold climates of the higher latitudes and in mountain regions. In the tropics they typically grow at higher altitudes.
Among the conifers are the tallest as well as the oldest trees on Earth.
