In the vast majority of cases, the common types of coniferous trees can be easily identified simply by asking some very basic questions about how the tree grows including:
How long are the needles?
Are the needles soft or pokey?
Do the needles grow in a flat plane or encircle the branch?
What does the cone look like?
Do the needles fall off in winter?
Does the tree have scales rather than needles?
Does the tree develop berries?
What do the needles (or scales) smell like?
So if you've ever struggled to learn about your local cone-bearing trees, this method will set you on the right path in the least complicated way possible.
