Detailed explanation-1: -Conifers are cone bearing trees that keep their leaves all year round (except for the larch!). These trees first came from colder climates, so they are adapted to lower temperatures. The shape of their needles means that they can conserve more water and the needles also have a waxy coating to help with this.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Great Basin Bristlecone Pine (Pinus longaeva) has been deemed the oldest tree in existence, reaching an age of over 5, 000 years old. The bristlecone pine’s success in living a long life can be attributed to the harsh conditions it lives in.
Detailed explanation-3: -In botany, an evergreen is a plant which has foliage that remains green and functional through more than one growing season. This also pertains to plants that retain their foliage only in warm climates, and contrasts with deciduous plants, which completely lose their foliage during the winter or dry season.
Detailed explanation-4: -Teak does not shed its leaves in winter. Teak is evergreen in nature.
