Athrotaxis

Athrotaxis are medium-sized, evergreen conifers native to the cool, temperate rainforests of Tasmania. They typically exhibit a pyramidal shape with dense foliage, consisting of small, scale-like leaves that tightly overlap along the branches. This dense leaf arrangement helps athrotaxis retain moisture and withstand the often wet, shady environments they thrive in. Athrotaxis also features distinct, woody cones that contribute to its survival and reproduction in these habitats.
