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.
