Pine, (genus Pinus), genus of about 120 species of evergreen conifers of the pine family (Pinaceae), are distributed throughout the world but native primarily to northern temperate regions. The main economic value of pines is in the construction and paper-products industries. Many pines are cultivated as ornamentals, including black, white, Himalayan, and stone pine and some are planted in reforestation projects or for windbreaks.
Pine trees are evergreen, coniferous resinous trees (or, rarely, shrubs) growing 3–80 m tall, with the majority of species reaching 15–45 m tall. The smallest are Siberian dwarf pine and Potosi pinyon, and the tallest is an 81.79 m tall ponderosa pine located in southern Oregon's Rogue River-Siskiyou Nation. Pines are long lived and typically reach ages of 100–1,000 years, some even more.
The bark of most pines is thick and scaly, but some species have thin, flaky bark. The branches are produced in regular "pseudo whorls", actually a very tight spiral but appearing like a ring of branches arising from the same point. Many pines produce just one such whorl of branches each year, but others produce two or more whorls of branches per year.
