Pine trees come from the Genus Pinus. Pines are mostly evergreen and are of widespread distribution in the temperate areas of the northern hemisphere. Pines have enormous economic importance as a source of timber and pulpwood, among other products. Members of the family characteristically have helically arranged, needlelike leaves.

The members of the pine family have separate female and male cones; the former produce the seeds, and the latter, the pollen. Male and female cones are produced on the same plant; the seed-bearing cones are woody when mature; the seeds are winged. The family is distinguished from other conifers on the basis of its seed cones.
