The ubiquitous greenery of the season has me thinking
conifers and stock market crashes. There is much to be learned from the coned
evergreen trees that form vast forests across the Northern Hemisphere. As the
oldest trees on the planet, the mighty conifers have survived threats of
catastrophic extinction since the time of the hungry herbivorous dinosaurs.
The conifer's secret to longevity lies in a paradox: Their
conquest has been largely the result of episodes of massive forest destruction.
When virtually all else is gone, conifers show their strength and prowess as
nature's opportunists. How?
