 Conifer- grow cones
 Deciduous- drop leaves during winter
 Evergreen- stay green all year

Which of these two are opposites???

Hardwood that it grows flowers, like the cherry
blossom tree.

Hardwood trees have broad leaves and are

usually deciduous. Its seeds have some kind
of covering - an apple tree hides its seeds in
an apple, and an oak tree hides its seeds in
an acorn.
 Softwood means it is coniferous.
 Instead of growing flowers, it grows cones,
like the pine tree!
 And instead of broad leaves, it usually grows
needles on its branches. Its seeds have no
covering, and just fall to the ground to grow
a new tree.
 The terms "softwood" and "hardwood" aren't
complete nonsense though – softwoods tend
have softer wood than hardwoods, but it just
isn't always true.
 Needlelike

 Scalelike
 Unique in that the leaves are narrow in width
and quite long in length.

 Needle length differs among tree species

 Helps with Tree Identification

Single- 1 needle per node

Group- 2-5 needles per node

Cluster- 5 or more needles per node

 Flat
Fir

 Four-Angled

 Three Angled
Spruce
 Cedar
 Cypresses
 Junipers

 The shape consists of overlapping leaves

which look like scales
