conifer
(kɒnɪfəʳ )
Word forms: conifers
countable noun
Conifers are a group of trees and shrubs, for example pine trees and fir trees, that grow in cooler areas of the world. They have fruit called cones, and very thin leaves called needles which they do not normally lose in winter.
This was probably due to the extensive planting of conifers at that time.
