The cone shape of pine trees is a structural adaptation. As a result, the branches do not break under the weight of snow.
It is basically found only at the foothills of the Himalayas, where the trees reach a height of 1500 to 2500 meters! The trees are mostly conical in shape and hence they are called coniferous trees. The important trees of this region are Pine, Deodar and Chir.
Pine trees, such as Pinus, have a conical shape with a single, dominant main trunk that supports thick branches arranged in whorls. Their needle-like leaves are clustered in bundles called fascicles. The cones of Pinus trees are woody and typically hang downward.
Evergreen Pine trees do not have leaves,the are pine needles and the shape of the tree helps it to shed snow.
Many of the trees are adapted to withstand large and heavy snowfalls and most conifers are conicalshaped trees that shed snow easily without breaking limbs or some of them also have very thick bark to protect them from fire.
conical is an adjectiveso, for example: "It had a conical shape"
Barren Island is becoming conical in shape.
Why plants grow on mountain in conical shape
No, Pine Trees have pine needles, not leaves
Birch trees typically have a pyramidal or conical shape when young, with branches starting low on the trunk and gradually spacing out as they grow taller. The branches are generally slender and pendulous, drooping towards the ground. Birch trees have a light and airy canopy.
Pine trees of course!
A plantation (area of trees) of pine trees
Examples of needleleaf trees include pine, spruce, fir, and cedar. Needleleaf trees are characterized by their long, thin leaves in the shape of needles, which remain on the tree year-round. They are typically coniferous trees and are common in colder climates.
