How is the wood of gymnosperms arranged?

The trunk of gymnosperms is covered with scale-like bark. The phloem, cambial ring, and powerful wood are located under this bark. In gymnosperms, the core is poorly developed, but the annual rings are very well distinguished. If we compare the structure with flowering, then here it is much simpler, the main part of the wood is tracheids. The needles of gymnosperms are arranged along the shoots, one or two pieces.
