Even if you’ve never heard of gymnosperms, you’re certainly familiar with this family of seed plants that don’t bear fruit. In fact, there may be one in your house right now, adorned in lights and ornaments! Expedition Leader and professional botanist Eleanor Edye introduces us to the world of gymnosperms -- from well-known conifers like pines and spruces to uncommon wonders like Welwitschia, cycads and ginkgo. Discover current-day gymnosperms, then step back in time to learn about their origins and how they evolved to spread over the entire planet.
