Newbie here... is the genus Ficus common parlance for something else? The only Ficus I know (and Google too it seems) is the fig group of plants/trees - such as the tropical one in a pot in my living room./I]

Well done that man. Strictly speaking Ginkgo isn't a conifer because it doesn't produce reproductive cones though it is a Gynosperm and therefore is more akin to 'conifers' than 'broadleaves' (Angiosperms).

 

But hey who's that fussy. It was Glyptostrobus and Psuedolarix which were the sneaky ones. And seeing as how there is only one tree known to each of those its not surprising!!

 

Glyptostrobus

Metasequoia

Larix

Taxodium

Pseudolarix

Gingko

 

Now who's going for species???

Glyptostrobus pensilis, also known as Chinese Swamp Cypress, Pseudolarix is a monotypic genus in the family Pinaceae. The sole species, Pseudolarix amabilis is commonly known as Golden Larch is this rite to im lerning off me dad as he is more like book that knows everything lol i send my dad on here he will tell u about all the species and cultivaras he ties people at nursery up. so as as we talking about Deciduous Conifers what is the tallist one people have seen. i no off a Metasequoia glyptostoboides that has a 2ft trunk and must bea good 60 ft see if i can get a pic
