| Mar 6, 2020 at 11:31 | comment | added | Karolini | @WeatherVane Alright, thank you. And what about Christmas trees, i.e. would it be OK to refer to conifers as Christmas trees in non-festive context? | |
| Mar 6, 2020 at 10:58 | comment | added | Weather Vane | Those three are all types of coniferous tree or conifers. Of those three, we would normally say "pine" trees when referring to conifers generally, sometimes as "fir" trees but rarely as "spruce" unless they actually are spruce trees, but many people won't know the differences. | |
