Gymnosperm Leaf

This is an example of a gymnosperm leaf on a pine tree, most gymnosperm trees are evergreen, which means they do not loose their leaves after the growing season. Others are deciduous and loose their leaves after the growing season. Pine trees from the conifer division have both evergreen and deciduous  trees with single blade unit leaves like in the picture above.
