Pine Trees
Pine trees are conifers. They are often grown commercially for timber. Pine trees have a long life span, sometimes up to 1,000 years old.

How do yoy eat screw pine fruit?
You don't. Humans do not consume Screw Pine fruit. Extracts are often made from the leaves and used to flavor desserts. The fruit is usually only eaten by animals that are not very discriminating about taste or texture.

Do pine trees grow back when you cut them down?
yes, one of the lateral branches near the top of the plant will assume the roll of the terminal leader
Why do the lodgepole pine trees seal their cone's shut with sticky pitch?
Lodgepole pine trees seal their cones shut with sticky pitch as a protective mechanism against environmental threats such as pests and extreme weather. This resin helps to keep seeds secure until favorable conditions for germination arise, often triggered by fire. The heat from wildfires melts the pitch, allowing the cones to open and release seeds, which can then take advantage of the nutrient-rich, post-fire soil. This adaptation enhances the tree's reproductive success in fire-prone ecosystems.
What is the first cell of the sporophyte generation in the life cycle of a pine tree?
the first cell in sporophytic generation is the zygote
What companies produce reclaimed pine dining tables?
Companies that produce reclaimed pine dining tables include 'Farmhouse Tables', 'Reclaimed Pine Farmhouse Tables', 'Glasgow Wood Recycling' and 'Chunky Pine Furniture'. Further information on ordering products can be found on the respective website of each of these companies.
Need assembly instructions for a Home Accents Holiday 7.5 pre lit slim Wesley pine tree?
I need instructions too because I cannot figure out how to connect lights so that the whole tree is lit at the same time. Very frustrating! Let me know if you know how to solve this problem @ mmbdb@att.net. Thanks
How long would it take to chop down a full sized pine tree with a knitting needle?
You cannot chop a tree down with a knitting needle as the needle does not have a sharp edge. You could bore it down if you lived long enough.
What organisms contain cellulose a pine tree a cow a rabbit a fern a grass a goldfish?
Oh, dude, cellulose is found in plants like pine trees, ferns, and grass. So, yeah, the pine tree, fern, and grass have cellulose. Cows and rabbits eat plants with cellulose, so they might have some in their systems too. Goldfish? Nah, they're off the hook on this one.
Why are there two kinds of cones on the same pine tree?
More than likely what you are seeing are male and female pine cones which sometimes look different even if they are the same species.
Why do squirrels live in pine trees?
chipmunks DO NOT live in pine trees. They live underground in dens.
Which generation in the life cycle of a conifer represented by a pine tree?
gametophyte as well as sporophyte generation
Why is the Long Island Pine Barrens so cold?
Due to the type of sandy and loam soil the region has, clear
skies and light winds are very conducive to an increased
radiational cooling effect when compared to surrounding
sites. The lack of urbanization coupled with a sparse
population within the Pine Barrens further accentuates any
nocturnal radiational cooling effects.
With the ridge of high pressure axis directly overhead
temperatures in the Pine Barrens can be ten degrees colder
than the surrounding areas. Even with a few clouds above
and a light wind temperature differences range between
four to five degrees colder.
There are three pine trees and the wind is blowing north what way are the leaves blowing?
there are no leaves, only pine needles
How does a pine tree turn into planks of wood?
It is felled, taken to the sawmill and sawn into planks.
What are some environmental issues with pine trees?
Rather than being a global warming solution, pine trees may be inducing smog and acid rain by releasing vast amounts of nitrogen oxide into the air, researchers have discovered.
Under some circumstances, needles from Scots pine trees can release nitrogen oxides directly into the atmosphere, according to a report in today's issue of the journal, Nature.
A team led by Professor Pertti Hari of the University of Helsinki in Finland, conducted experiments with new pine shoots from Pinus sylvestris, measuring the amount of nitrogen oxides they emitted when exposed to sunlight.
Nitrogen oxides (NOx), along with hydrocarbon gases and sunlight, are the three ingredients needed to make photochemical smog that clogs the skies of many urban centres, as well as acid rain.
The researchers were surprised to find NOx produced by the pine needles, and that levels rose when shoots were exposed to ultraviolet radiation from the Sun. While the amount produced was insignificant on a local scale, "our findings suggest that global NOx from boreal coniferous forests may be comparable to those produced by worldwide industrial and traffic sources," said the authors.
Other scientists were cautious. "I would like to see a more qualitative estimate of how significant that might be in comparison to all the other sources of nitrogen oxide in the atmosphere," said Associate Professor David Griffith of the atmospheric chemistry research group at Australia's University of Wollongong.
While the gases produced by pine trees could in theory deliver as much air pollution as worldwide industrial emissions, in reality most trees do not grow in air that has the very low background levels of nitrogen oxides needed for the trees to emit NOx in the first place.
"If there are already nitrogen oxides in the air, there will be a net uptake, they will be taken up by the trees," he told ABC Science Online.
The study did show for the first time that forests can produce two of the three critical ingredients for smog, and it had been previously established that trees produce hydrocarbons. "No-one has recognised before that they also produce the nitrogen oxides," said Griffith. "Once you put both those ingredients together you can form photochemical smog."
But the amount of nitrous oxides required for this to happen are in the order of tens of parts per billion, and the research has only found levels of one to three parts per billion, he said.
"What I can't judge is how significant this would be globally," he added. "It's going to be a local effect. Nitrogen oxides don't have a long lifetime in the atmosphere." By comparison, nitrous oxides have a very long lifetime, and can spread all over the world.
Australia does not have a lot of boreal or 'needle tree' - forests, because they tend to exist in high latitude areas. But the findings could be relevant on a local scale in Australian pine plantations, Griffith said.
Large scale planting of pine trees to act as 'carbon sinks' has been promoted by some, the theory being that fast-growing trees absorb and retain carbon dioxide from the air. Carbon dioxide is widely cited one of the major contributors to global warming.
Do pine trees grow in arid areas?
yes, pine can grow in arid areas only if intense care is provided. you can grow may be 1 or 2 trees, but if u want to establish a whole plantation, it is not possible because the climate of arid areas do not favor pine trees.
Are pine trees vascular or nonvascular?
Pine trees are vascular plants because these have well defined xylem and phloem tissues.
When do pine cones fall off the trees in MI?
In Michigan, pine cones typically fall off trees in late summer to early fall, around late August to October. The timing can vary depending on the specific species of pine and local weather conditions. Once the cones mature, they release seeds and fall to the ground, contributing to the forest floor's ecosystem. Some pine species can retain their cones for longer periods, even through winter.
