White Pines, Redwoods, and Yews

Oh those conifers are a unique bunch! From trees that mimic berries to giants that live for millennia, conifers have been around for a long time and developed some amazing life strategies. This walk will take a stroll through the diverse conifer collection at Hoyt Arboretum and discuss how these unique trees have adapted and changed over evolutionary time, and we’ll see all the clever ways they’ve learned to thrive today.
