Pine (Pinus spp.)

Pine trees, belonging to the genus Pinus, are coniferous trees known for their needle-like leaves and distinctive cones. They thrive in various climates and are commonly found in forests across the Northern Hemisphere. Pines are valued for their timber, which is used in construction and furniture, and their resin, which can be made into products like turpentine. These trees also play an important role in their ecosystems, providing habitat for wildlife and helping to stabilize soil. Some pine species are also used for ornamental purposes and reforestation efforts.
