Either drought or disease.
Spruce pines, Pinus glabra, have acicular leaves which are needle like.
Softwoods are from needle-leaf trees like pines and firs. Hardwoods are from broadleaf trees.
A needle leaf is a type of leaf that is long and slender, resembling a needle. It is commonly found in coniferous trees such as pines, firs, and spruces. Needle leaves are adapted to withstand harsh environmental conditions like cold temperatures and minimize water loss.

Pines have longer needles grouped in bundles, while spruces have shorter needles attached individually to the branches. Pines also have larger cones compared to spruces. Additionally, spruces tend to have a more conical shape compared to the more irregular shape of pines.
Porcupines are rodents that are indigenous to the Americas, Southern Asia and Africa. They are notorious for their coat of sharp, needle like pines that are used for protection against predators.
Red pines (Pinus resinosa) do not have a petiole. Instead, their needle-like leaves are directly attached to the branch through a structure called a fascicle, which typically contains two needles. This arrangement allows for efficient photosynthesis while minimizing water loss.
"Softwood plants" are needle-leafed trees like pines and firs. If cannabis was a wood-producing plant, it would be a hardwood because it's a broadleaf plant.
Pines, cedars, and yews are all types of coniferous trees. They are characterized by bearing cones and having needle-like or scale-like leaves that are usually evergreen. Coniferous trees are often found in cooler climates.
The quickest way is to look at the leaves. If they are needle like (like pines and other evergreens) it is soft wood, if leavy like maple trees, it is a hardwood. There are exceptions to this, but only some leafy trees being soft. There are no needle trees that are hardwood.
In the Pines was created in 1917.
