An important group within the gymnosperm family are the cone bearing trees. These conifers are the largest natural forests on Earth, and as such contribute a great deal to the O2: CO2 balance. From these softwoods, huge amounts of newsprint and similar paper is made. They are also widely used in housing, construction in general, furniture and so on.

Some gymnosperms such as Kauri, produce fine textured wood of great beauty, and have high quality end use such as making violins, and the general string family. One of the New Zealand trees, Dacrydium at about 75mm tall, may be the smallest tree.
