The coniferous evergreens all have either needle-like or scale-like 
leaves, and most all have cones for fruits, except Junipers and Yews 
which bear berries. All forms and shapes are available from low 
spreading Junipers, formal little Arborvitaes, through medium sized 
shrubs to very large trees. They are a hardy lot, thriving from the 
mountains through the warm valleys to the sea coast.
