Answer 2

A pine is one of about 115 species of tall green tree with green needles sticking/pointing out.

Technically a pine is an evergreen (does not shed its needles in the fall) coniferous tree. Its Latin name is genus Pinus of family Pinaceae (subfamily Pinoideae).

Answer 3

Are you specifically asking about Pine trees (genus Pinus) or coniferous evergreens in general? I'm still learning the differences myself.

The only true pine that I know of which grows multiple stalks like bushes, is Mugo Pine (Pinus Mugo) There are a few different varieties of it that range in size, from the dwarf (subspecies Pumilio) which will usually only grow to 3-4 feet tall, to the Eastern Mugo (subspecies mugo) that grow to almost 20 feet.

Note also in the U.S. that the more commonly seen western Mugo (subspecies Uncinata) is a single trunk tree that looks more like a traditional Christmas tree style pine, and will grow up to sixty feet.

Answer 4

Pines are coniferous trees in the genus Pinus, in the family Pinaceae.
