If you're talking about true trees (not like bamboo, which is a common misnomer) there are three types. Coniferous trees (also evergreen, etc.) have long thin leaves, that are commonly referenced as needles. Examples: Lodgepole pine, white spruce, etc. Also, the difference between pine and spruce is pine needles come off in pairs (P in pair and pine). Spruce needles come off in singles (same memory principle as pine; spruce and single).

The next type is deciduis (not sure on spelling(SORRY)) which sheds its broad leafy leaves in fall. Examples:Aspen, willow, etc.

Finally, the tamarack. Yes, ah, the tamarack. This is a weird combination of the afore mentioned types. I can't exactly give you a definite answer on this definition.I forget. Oops!

Thank's Mr. Z for teaching me this stuff.
