Synopsis

The Curious Coniferite says “One damn thing just leads to another." Follow the adventures of a conifer newsletter editor as his investigations and fact-checking wander from horticulture to history, mythology to mycology, and even to food, drink and grammar! If you are curious, whether or not you’re a coniferite or odd in any other way, you’ll enjoy this eclectic collection of conifer trivia. Who knew? Some conifers are carnivores! (See page 110) Female voles begin reproducing when three weeks old! (See page 98) Red cedar is not a cedar, Norfolk pine is not a pine, Douglas fir is not a fir, and the Australian pine isn’t even a conifer. (Page 84) Pine trees have tattoo symbolism. (See page 83) During the Civil War pyroligneous acid (wood vinegar) was used to flavor hams . . .and to “correct the offensive smell of wounds.” (See page 75) Bring your curiosity — and your sense of humor!
