What are gymnosperms and what are the common ones (with characteristics introduction)

1. What are they?

1. Pine trees: They are tall trees, generally 15-75 meters in height, and very few are in the form of shrubs. The branches above are relatively small and thin, and appear straight or slightly curved downward, and the crown looks fluffy and not compact. There are many categories, and they are often planted on the roadside. They can also be made into bonsai and placed at home for viewing.

2. Cypress: This tree species is widely distributed in China and is an excellent landscaping tree species. The branches are relatively dense. Although there are many twigs, they are thin and weak, and the branches and leaves are densely distributed.

3. Ginkgo tree: Because the fruit it bears is called ginkgo nut, it is also called ginkgo tree. The fruit can be used as medicine. It grows relatively slowly and has a long lifespan. The diameter can reach 4 meters, and the bark of the young trees that have just started to grow will be smooth and light gray in color.

2. Features

The so-called gymnosperms refer to the fact that the seeds they produce are not covered by a pericarp and are exposed, and cannot form fruits.
