There are various factors that distinguish Pine trees from other trees. To begin with these trees have seeds that are uncovered and pairing is done in bearing. There are two major groups in which the pines are generally classified namely the Pinus and the Strobus. The Strobus are the white pines and the Pinus are the yellow pines. However there is another category that is intermediate is Ducampopinus. The Pines are generally found in regions that are temperate or tropical. The requirement for proper growth of the pine comprises of soil that is acidic in nature and in which the drainage is proper.
