Conifer

Conifers are evergreen trees with seed-bearing cones. The name "conifer" is a Latin word, being a compound of "conus" ( cone) and "ferre" (to bear). Conifers can be found all over the world, but most notably, in the cooler Northern Hemisphere. Conifers can range in height from one metre, to over one hundred metres. Conifers are primarily cultivated for their timber, which is a softwood, and used in various ways including construction, and the production of paper.

In Celtic mythology, fir trees represent truth, honesty, strength, hope and wisdom.
