When you were in school the science teacher probably told you there were two types of trees. Decidious, meaning they loose their leaves in the winter and conifers, who have needles, which they don't loose in the winter. If you are going to the State Fair, check out the native plant garden in the flower show area. Next to the fence on the shelter side of the garden is a decidious conifer. It is the first tree next to the driveway. Oh yeah, be sure and look at the mums. This is something that I also do- raise mums for State Fair. In handicrafts and hobbies, check out woodworking items also. Conifer- means, bears it seeds in cones.
