Key pattern

Soft, flattened or needle-like leaves on tall conifers, several species deciduous and shedding their foliage entirely each year unlike most conifers; reproduction is by woody cones rather than flowers, some species developing swollen, knobby 'knee' roots when growing in waterlogged ground.

As true conifers this family has no flowers or fruit — several members are among the tallest and longest-lived trees on Earth, and unusually some drop all their needles every year like a broadleaf deciduous tree.
