A conifer is typically an evergreen, it does not drop its' 'leaves' (needles or scales) as do deciduous trees. Blue Spruce, White Pine, and Douglas fir are examples of conifer trees. Think Christmas trees - they are conifers. A conifer is a cone bearing tree. Some conifers are deciduous for example the Larch.
