Pine Trees (Fusuma)

Pine trees, known as Fusuma in some contexts, are evergreen conifers characterized by their tall, slender trunks and needle-like leaves. They play a vital role in ecosystems, providing habitat and preventing soil erosion. Pines have a distinctive bark that often becomes rugged with age, and their cones contain seeds critical for reproduction. Their adaptability allows them to thrive in various climates, from temperate to subtropical regions. Pines are also valued economically for timber, resin, and ornamental use, symbolizing resilience and longevity in many cultures.
