Conifers

Conifers are named for their cone-shaped  infructescence made up of a group of scales containing the seeds; they are usually common in temperate and cold areas but also adapt well on the rocks common to Mediterranean vegetation.They generally have a main column-shaped trunk and needle-shaped, persistent leaves . Some exotic species, like the Cedar of Lebanon, the Atlantic Cedar and the Himalayan Cedar, are colossal and majestic. They have thus been immensely popular in European and American parks and gardens, due to their adaptability and their ornamental characteristics.
