Pine Trees (Pinus)

Pinus is a diverse genus of evergreen coniferous trees and shrubs characterized by their needle-like leaves bundled in fascicles and woody seed-bearing cones. These resinous plants exhibit a wide variety of growth habits, from prostrate shrubs to towering forest giants. They are primarily found in the Northern Hemisphere, thriving in well-drained soils and full sun. Pines are essential for timber, resin production, and ornamental landscaping, offering year-round texture and structure to diverse environments.
