Coniferous trees are often referred to as evergreens, and the name is associated with trees that have needles instead of broad, flat leaves. Although this is true in many cases, it isn't always true. A coniferous tree is any tree that reproduces via cones.

In general, deciduous trees have broader leaves than conifers, too. In addition, the leaves of deciduous treeschange color before they fall in autumn because of the loss of chlorophyll. Another difference is that coniferous trees have their seeds in cones whiledeciduous trees do not.
The main difference between coniferous (also called evergreen) and deciduous trees is that deciduous trees lose their leaves every year and most conifers do not. In general, deciduous trees have broader leaves than conifers, too. In addition, the leaves of deciduous trees change color before they fall in autumn because of the loss of chlorophyll. Another difference is that coniferous trees have their seeds in cones while deciduous trees do not. Finally, deciduous trees tend to be hardwood trees and conifers are most often softwood.
