The number of pine needles per bundle varies by species from 2-5. The Northeastern White Pine has 5 needles per bundle.
Pine needles are about 3 inches long
The Ponderosa pine has long, slender, dark green needles that grow in bundles of 2 or 3. The needles can be 5-10 inches long and have sharp tips. They can stay on the tree for several years before falling off.
An oak tree is 6 times as old as a pine tree and an elm tree is 6 years younger than the oak tree. In 3 years, the age of the elm will be 3 times the age of the pine. How old is the oak tree now?
I have a nut tree that I don't know the name of. The fruit is oblong shaped, green skinned and sticky to the touch. The inside shell resembles that of a walnut. The squirells don't bother with it. Can you tell me what it is? Thanks
Its unfortunate that Pinex is no longer available. My grandmother used to make it for me when I was little and it was very soothing. The Pinex product was 2.5 ounces of concentrate which you then mixed with sugar and water to create a syrup. Although I don't know the ingredients in the concentrate, I do know that you can make your own pine needle tea and drink for relief of respiratory aliments. It is full of vitamin C and will send you on the road to recovery! Any type of pine tree will do. Collect young green pine needles. The young pine needles are the ones farthest out on the branches. Pull needles off the branch and line them up with the root ends together. Cut this root end off. Cut the needles into small segments and place in the bottom of a glass jar. Fill the jar about 1/3 of the way with cut pine needles. Pour boiling water over the needles, put the lid on the jar and let steep for 15 minutes. Using a spoon, press the needles against the side of the glass to express the essential oils. Pour the tea out of the jar into a cup, leaving the pine needles in the bottom of the jar. Sweeten with honey, sugar or agave nectar to taste.

Eventually there will be no lawn under a pine unless you remove the bottom 2/5 to 1/3 branches on the pine to allow for more sunlight. Removing the limbs is half the effort. You will need to remove the fallen needles from the lawn. Needles left on the lawn will also shade out the turf. This is advisable only if the pine is taking up to much yard space either functionally or visually. It is best to leave the pine with all it branches to the ground, leave all the needles on the ground and buy more if you want to speed up the process of ridding the yard of left over lawn.

Yes, you can make a tea out of pine needles. The tea is high in vitamins A and C and was used by Native Americans to prevent scurvy and coughs among other things. Researchers from the Institute on Aging at Seoul National University in Seoul, South Korea found that, "pine needles exhibit strong antioxidant, antimutagenic, and antiproliferative effects on cancer cells and also antitumor effects in vivo and point to their usefulness in cancer prevention." see link below Additionally, researchers at Yeungnam University College of Medicine found, "pine needle water extract may be considered for use in therapy to control obesity." see link below Some websites claim pine needle tea shouldn't be consumed by pregnant women due to a danger of miscarriage. Also, be sure to distinguish pine needles from the broad, flat "needles" of the yew tree which are toxic.

I'm not sure but, when you plant to tree or the seed it needs not much water. The bigger the tree the more water it needs. The leaves contain most of the water and hog it. So be sure to trim it!
