Conifers

Conifers are a group of trees and shrubs that are wind-pollinated and produce cones, common conifer familes include Pines, Spruce, Fir, Cypress, Cedars, and Larch. Most conifers are evergreen trees but there are also several species that drop their leaves or needles in the winter, such as Dawn Redwood and Larch. While many species grow quite tall, there are also many conifer varieties that grow as dwarf shrubs and are excellent for smaller landscapes. These smaller varieties in particular are popular for bonsai, but large species can make excellent bonsai specimens as well.
