Coniferous trees are a type of evergreen tree that are characterized by their needle-like leaves and cone-bearing fruits. Yews, cedars, firs, and PINES are all examples of coniferous trees. Yews are small to medium-sized trees with flat, dark green needles and red berries. Cedars are tall, evergreen trees with fragrant wood and scale-like leaves. Firs are tall, conical trees with soft, flat needles and cones that hang down from the branches. PINES are tall, evergreen trees with long, slender needles and cones that stand upright on the branches.
