pine

Pine is a type of evergreen tree known for its tall, straight growth and needle-like leaves. It produces soft or hard wood commonly used in construction, furniture, and paper products. Pines reproduce through cones that contain seeds, often called pine nuts. These trees thrive in various climates and soil types, making them widespread across different regions. Pines also play an important role in ecosystems by providing habitat for wildlife and contributing to forest health. Their resin and timber are valuable resources, and they are culturally significant in many traditions worldwide.
