ʻAʻohe lau o ka hapa nui o nā conifers, nā nila wale nō. Penei ko lākou ʻokoʻa me nā lāʻau deciduous. Kapa ʻia lākou he lāʻau palupalu a i ʻole conifers. Mai ka Latin mai kēia inoa a ʻo ia hoʻi ka mea lawe cone. ʻO nā conifers maʻamau i loko o kā mākou nahele he spruce, pine, a me ka fir.
ʻO kahi hiʻohiʻona o ka hana hou ʻana he ʻano o nā conifers: ʻaʻole pale ʻia nā ovule e nā carpels e like me nā pua akā hāmama. ʻO ia ke kumu i kapa ʻia ai kēia pūʻulu he "mea kanu hua ʻōlohelohe". Hoʻokomo pū lākou i nā cypresses a i ʻole thuja, i kanu pinepine ʻia e like me nā pā. Lawe lākou i nā nila e like me ka hapalua o nā lau.
Ma Kelemānia a me Switzerland, ʻoi aku ka nui o nā conifers ma mua o nā lāʻau deciduous. ʻO ka mea mua, ʻoi aku ka wikiwiki o ka ulu ʻana o ka lāʻau coniferous, ʻo ka lua, mahalo nui ʻia e like me ka lāʻau kūkulu: lōʻihi a pololei nā kumu. Hiki ke ʻoki maikaʻi ʻia nā kaola, nā ʻāpana, nā panela, a me nā mea hou aku. ʻOi aku ka māmā o ka lāʻau palupalu ma mua o ka lāʻau paʻakikī.
Hauʻoli nō hoʻi nā Conifers me nā lepo i liʻiliʻi nā meaʻai. ʻO kēia ka mea e hiki ai iā lākou ke noho lōʻihi ma nā mauna, kahi i hiki ʻole ai i nā lāʻau deciduous ke hoʻokō i ke aniau.
Nalo nā lāʻau coniferous i ko lākou nila ma hope o kekahi mau makahiki i ko lākou wā ʻelemakule. Akā ke hoʻololi mau nei lākou i nā nila hou, no laila ʻaʻole ʻoe e ʻike iā lākou. ʻO ia ke kumu i kapa ʻia ai lākou he "lāʻau evergreen". ʻO ka larch wale nō: huli kona mau nila i melemele gula i kēlā me kēia hāʻule a hāʻule i ka honua. ʻOi loa ma Graubünden ma Switzerland, hoʻokipa kēia i nā mākaʻikaʻi he nui i kēlā me kēia makahiki.
