No. They may flare up for a moment, but they do not sustain a flame. Where there are pine needles, there is likely Pine sap. Grab a glob of the sap and like that on fire. It works great. Also, the tiny dead twigs (often found lower on the tree under the canopy) of Pine trees are great for starting files as well. If they are small enough, they will burn like match sticks.

What are the three things needed for a fire to burn?
Fire material To make a fire, you need to build it up gradually, beginning with small pieces of wood, then progressing to larger pieces as the fire gets going.

Good tinder is dry material that takes only a spark to ignite. The tinder must be absolutely dry. There are a number of things you can use for tinder, paper, leaves, grass, bark and resin. You will find resin in spruce and pine trees. Resin will burn even if it is wet.Use your knife to turn dry sticks and pieces of bark into powdery tinder. Tinder is the most important part of your fire, so prepare it well. If you have found resin, rub it on small twigs and sticks. Have plenty of tinder on hand so your fire will not go out. Collect tinder before you need it. Put tinder in your pocket or backpack, so you always have it handy.Learn how to light a fire with matches, or to be more precise, light your tinder.

They do not ship trees and leave a huge carbon foot print. They do not spray the tree with a needle retention product (glue that keeps the dead needles from falling off....this may sound good at first but the product does not make the tree more fire resistant and the needles will turn brown on the tree: to combat this, large operations will then use a chemical to paint the needles green so the buyer will think the tree is fresh.
