This time of year, many people are bringing conifers into their homes to decorate. For many of us, they symbolize the winter season. But it’s easy to take these trees for granted—where do these pine, spruce, fir, and their relatives come from? Why do they dominate the frozen fringes of the far north in Siberia and Canada, as well as high mountains? How do they endure a winter colder than any other tree can?
