pine tree

Cone-bearing forest tree

A pine tree is any tree of the genus Pinus—evergreen conifers with needle-like leaves and woody cones.

Pine trees are widespread in the Northern Hemisphere, valued for timber, resin, and ornamental use.

The term often appears as a redundancy, since pine already denotes a tree: The cabin sat among the pine trees.
