Is palm a coniferous tree

Answer 1

A palm tree [Arecaceae or Palmaceae family] isn't deciduous, because it doesn't drop most of its foliage in less than a year. Neither is it coniferous, because it doesn't have cones. Instead, it's an evergreen, because it takes more than a year to replace old foliage with new.

Conifers actually may be seen as a subcategory of evergreens. But not all conifers are evergreen. A prime example is the bald cypress [Taxodium distichum]. It bears cones. But it loses most of its foliage in less than a year.

So the 'either-or' question in regard to the frequency of foliage loss actually is 'evergreen' or 'deciduous', not 'coniferous' or 'deciduous'.
