A conifer is a tree belonging to the cone bearing order Coniferales. These trees have needles or scale-like leaves and are very different from hardwood trees which have broad, flat leaves and usually without cones. You can easily identify a conifer from a hardwood. Also called evergreens, conifers normally keep foliage or needles through the entire year. The notable exceptions are baldcypress and tamarack which shed needles annually. These softwood trees usually bear cones and include the pines, spruces, firs, and cedars. Wood hardness varies among the conifer species, and some are actually harder than some hardwoods. Most of the common conifers are of major economic importance for lumber and paper production.
