Conifers for Gardens Conifers, unfortunately, are poorly represented among our native plants. We have, in fact, just three species, the Scots pine, Pinus sylvestris, the common juniper, juniperus communis, and the common yew, Taxus baccata, although several other species are today very obviously part of the British landscape, due mainly to the efforts of the forester. Even with these additions we have a very mean share of this remarkable group of woody plants which, in the main, hail from the temperate regions of the world and, in particular, the Northern Temperate regions. If we lack a variety of conifers in our landscape, native or otherwise, we are not lacking in introduced species which are well represented in our gardens, pineta and parks.
