pine trees

Needle-bearing forest giants

Pine trees are evergreen conifers with needle-like leaves and woody cones, found throughout the Northern Hemisphere.

They're valued for timber, paper pulp, and resin products like turpentine.

The phrase typically appears when distinguishing pines from other trees: The hillside was covered with pine trees.

Pine tree is often written as one word or hyphenated: pinetree, pine-tree.
