There are several deciduous conifers, including the European larch (Larix decidua) and the dawn redwood (Metasequoia glyptostroboides). Both of these trees exhibit beautiful fall color before dropping their leaves. Dawn redwood grows veiy fast. After becoming established, it can grow several feet a year.
The spruce genus (Picea) contains several popular species. The Norway spruce (P. abies) grows 80 to 100 feet and is a beautiful, graceful specimen excellent for windbreaks and privacy screens when planted on 20-foot centers. The Colorado blue spruce (P. pungens) is a stiff, more formal type of spruce. It is very popular due to its bluegreen color. The Serbian spruce (P. omorika) is one of the most elegant spruces and deserves to be planted more often.
