Mitundu yambiri ya conifers ilibe masamba, koma singano zokha. Umu ndi momwe amasiyanirana ndi mitengo yophukira. Amatchedwanso softwoods kapena conifers. Dzinali limachokera ku Chilatini ndipo limatanthauza wonyamula cone. Mitengo yodziwika kwambiri m'nkhalango zathu ndi spruce, pine, ndi fir.
Chodabwitsa cha kuberekana ndi mawonekedwe a ma conifers: ma ovules samatetezedwa ndi ma carpels monga maluwa koma amakhala otseguka. Ndicho chifukwa chake gululi limatchedwanso "zomera zamaliseche". Amaphatikizanso cypresses kapena thuja, zomwe nthawi zambiri zimabzalidwa ngati mipanda. Amanyamula singano zomwe zimakumbukira masamba.
Ku Germany ndi Switzerland, pali mitengo ya conifers kuposa mitengo yophukira. Choyamba, nkhuni za coniferous zimakula mofulumira, kachiwiri, zimakhala zamtengo wapatali ngati matabwa omanga: mitengo ikuluikulu ndi yaitali komanso yowongoka. Mitengo, mizere, mapanelo, ndi zina zambiri zitha kudulidwa bwino kuchokera pa izi. Softwood imakhalanso yopepuka kuposa yolimba.
Conifers amasangalalanso ndi dothi lomwe lili ndi zakudya zochepa. Zimenezi zimawathandiza kukhala m’madera akutali kwambiri kumapiri, kumene mitengo yophukirayo yakhala ikulephera kupirira kwa nthaŵi yaitali chifukwa cha nyengo.
Mitengo ya Coniferous imataya singano pambuyo pa zaka zingapo itakalamba. Koma nthawi zonse amasinthidwa ndi singano zatsopano, kotero simuziwona konse. Ndicho chifukwa chake amatchedwanso "mitengo yobiriwira". Chokhacho ndi larch: singano zake zimasanduka chikasu chagolide m'dzinja lililonse ndikugwa pansi. Makamaka ku Graubünden ku Switzerland, izi zimakopa alendo ambiri chaka chilichonse.
