Tree Wiki
Welcome to Tree-Wiki, Trefadder’s digital reference guide offering a solid introduction to the tree species found in Norwegian forests. Learn about each species’ origin, appearance, key characteristics and where in Norway they can be found.
We explore how Norwegian forests contribute to a better environment and climate and highlight the cultural and historical significance and uses of each tree species. The photos in Tre-Wiki are taken by our own forest photographer Daniel Pedersen and show the amazing diversity of Norwegian forests.
Deciduous trees
Deciduous trees are an important part of Norway's natural landscape and play a central role in the ecosystem. These trees, which shed their leaves in autumn, come in many varieties and are an invaluable part of our nature, with great importance for both the ecosystem and the climate.
Conifers
Conifers play an important role in Norway's forest landscape, and they are found both in pure coniferous forests and as elements in deciduous forests. The most common conifers in Norway are spruce, pine, juniper and yew. These trees are adapted to different climatic conditions and soil types, making them an important part of the Norwegian ecosystem.
