Tour: Conifers and Their Allies - Evergreen Giants of the Ancient World

National Botanic Gardens of Ireland

Meet living fossils and lethal killers, giants of fire and ice, and the plants that fed the dinosaurs.

The conifers and their allies have long been overshadowed by their upstart flowering cousins, but these ancient plants still flourish as some of the largest and oldest of all living things. Meet living fossils and lethal killers, giants of fire and ice, and the plants that fed the dinosaurs. From the mysteries of the taiga forest, the greatest and coldest of earth’s land ecosystems, to the humble Christmas tree that graces our homes, conifers are part of all our lives in ways we may not even realise.
