Fascinating Facts About Pine Trees: Nature’s Resilient Evergreens

October 21, 2023

Pine trees are remarkable evergreens, known for retaining their needles for roughly two years before shedding and regrowing them—a process that keeps these trees lush year-round. Pine needles vary widely in size, from 1 to 11 inches, depending on the species. Both male and female pine trees produce woody cones, but each has a unique role: females produce seeds while male cones release pollen. These resilient trees can reach heights anywhere from a modest 4 feet to towering 150 feet. Gregalls Tree Service shares this Fact of the Week to deepen your appreciation of these enduring natural wonders in our landscapes.
