Coniferous Trees Lyrics - Trees - Molly Ledford & Billy Kelly

Coniferous trees, as you might have known 

Reproduce by growing little seeds inside of a cone 

Coniferous trees grow around the world 

And the tallest living thing on The Earth is a coniferous tree 

In case you're curious, Molly [Oh!] 

That's a coast redwood, or a sequoia tree, 

It's grown out there in California USA 

[Hey, thanks for the information] 

You're welcome, you're welcome 

It's 379 feet tall [not bad] 

Yeah, it's tall 

Coniferous trees [coniferous trees], so some folks believe 

[Yeah, I've seen those people] 

Don't have leaves because they have needles 

But guess what? Their needles are actually leaves 

It's just a different kind of a leaf 

Coniferous trees grow around the world 

And the oldest living thing on The Earth is a coniferous tree 

[And what is that?] 

Well, a tree? It's like a big, woody plant-like thing... 

[No, I mean, like] 

Oh, the oldest thing? [Yeah] 

The oldest thing is a bristlecone pine tree 

That's grown out there in California 

It's over 4,800 years old 

[You checked out a book on California, didn't you?] 

Coniferous trees [coniferous trees], I just got that 

Nicknamed 'evergreens' [they don't eat meat, do they?] 

No, those are carnivorous trees [oh, OK] 

On account of their tendency, year round, to keep their leaves. 

See I told you they had leaves! [Yep] 

Coniferous trees grow around the world 

And if you ask me 

One of the coolest kind of trees on The Earth is tree coniferous tree 

{One more time!}
