Ciri” pohon pinus dalam bahasa inggris

Leaves

Instead of the broad, flat leaves of most tree species, pines have acicular-shaped leaves, usually referred to as needles. The needles are generally bunched in groups of two to eight and joined at the base by a sheath. Different species will have different numbers of needles in each cluster. White pines, for example, usually have five needles per cluster, whereas ponderosa pines only have two.

Bark

Pine bark, too, has characteristics that set it apart from other barks. Many pine trees have a reddish-brown bark, as is the case with the long-leafed pine. Pine bark also has plates that either appear in layers or are scaly. The bark has a rough texture. Pine bark has a distinct smell, often described as turpentine.

Cones

Instead of producing fruit, pine trees produce cones. This is how pine trees reproduce. There are two types of cone, the male and the female, the latter of which is the form that is more commonly thought of when we refer to pine cones. 

Evergreen

Pines are evergreen. This means that they maintain their leaves all year, not dropping them in the fall like most other tree types.
