American Conifer Society

The Society publishes the ConiferQuarterly in both digital and hard copy versions and maintains a public website which hosts an extensive conifer database as well as copious articles about identifying, growing and designing with conifers.

In addition, the Society holds annual events, including small, informal gatherings and a national meeting, which is rotated among the four regions.

To help foster stewardship, conservation and education, the Society makes grants and scholarship awards annually.

The public is invited to submit photos and to comment, which the editors review and may incorporate into the records.

The Society has designated four categories of conifer sizes, based on growth rates: The American Conifer Society has established a select group of public gardens, designated as "reference gardens".
