Tag for coniferous trees. Pine, spruce, etc.

BUR #14581 has been rejected.

create implication spruce -> conifer

Because spruce is a species of coniferous evergreen tree.
EDIT: I was mistaken

create implication pine_tree -> conifer

This one too.

Why would they disagree? In context of illustrations, both spruce and pine trees look too identical each other. And it's not easy to distinguish at glance. So implying both with conifer would make sense IMHO.

Are we sure we want to have an umbrella tag that contains christmas trees and random-ass pine forests?

Someone tagged some generic-looking evergreen trees with spruce in post #5972520. It's padding.

Tree names are a mess IRL, the old traditional names conflict with old scientific latin names and with new gene based research.

I frankly cant tell the difference between whats tagged as spruce and pine on Danbooru. Aliasing all to conifer might be the best opiton.

I can change my mind. Those trees look similar each other. Would you prefer a better aliasing into a more general category like this?
alias pine tree -> conifer
alias spruce -> conifer

After further reconsideration, I think aliasing all of them into a single catch-all tag for any species of trees that look like 🌲and have needle-like leaves all the time. Yes, even the same species of any coniferous tree may look identical to each other. The tag conifer itself is used for coniferous trees instead of bush, so I requested renaming for clearer purpose. As usual, artistic rendition and details significantly blur the distinction between each species.
Some tags are extremely underpopulated, but I refrain from nuking it.

I almost thought aliasing all of them into "evergreen_tree", while coniferous refer to their reproductive system. Having word green on it seems not really suitable if they are depicted in monochrome or other colour presets.

For the same reason we even use palm tree for any species, regardless if it's coconut tree, date tree, or whatever.
Please reconsider. Bumped.
