![]() Below is a list of conifers graded for how well they will do in the South, compiled from Landscaping with Confers and Ginkgo for the Southeast by Tom Cox and John M. But there can be! Interesting and beautiful conifers from all over the world exist that are adaptable to southern conditions. As a result, not many types are offered for sale and there isn’t much variety in southern gardens. The southeastern United States, with its heat and humidity, isn’t hospitable to many of these trees, so conifers, in general, have gotten a “not for here” reputation. Most of these conifers grow in cold climates, or on mountaintops in tropical areas. They make up a relatively small percentage of the worldwide plants, with only 8 families, 69 genera, and 630 species. Conifers are native to all the Earth’s continents except Antarctica, ranging from tropical environments to boreal forests.
