For a handy reference to the
best-known softwood trees, here is a compiled list showing the general areas in
the United States where they may be found.
Most conifers are
evergreens, or softwoods, and they produce seeds within cones. Conifers usually
have needles which they shed, but not all at once, and they remain green
throughout the year. Softwoods light easily and make a good fire, but they burn
fast and leave few coals.
