Leaves/needles with heavy cuticle that allows them (there are exceptions) to maintain their foliage year round. Most are diecious (two houses) having a male and a female plant. Needles have triangular cross sections in most spruces and the needles of pine trees are usually flat and most often arise in pairs or groups of 3 from a single site.
