Christmas tree conifers are thought to be millions of years old. The kind of conifers used as Christmas trees have retained their genetic makeup for millions of years, and were around when the dinosaurs roamed the earth. According to a study from the Université Laval in Canada, conifers found a niche in their environment very early on when compared with flowering plants that had to struggle for survival and reproduction.
