Natural resins are classified according to their physical and chemical properties into hard resins, oleoresins, and gum resins (Moussouris and Regato 1999). Conifers have a long and complex spiritual tradition in our culture. Their evergreen nature has made them symbols of immortality; Taxus baccata is a good example.
Conifers, or cone-bearing trees, are mostly evergreen and have thin, spiky leaves called needles. Conifers include the pine, fir and spruce families. The cones of these trees vary widely in size, color and texture, but all carry and protect the tree's seeds until they are mature, at which point the cones release the seeds to the winds. Some deciduous trees also form hard, conical-shaped seed pods, but these are properly called catkins rather than cones.
