The characteristics of pine trees are mainly reflected in four aspects. First, it is a relatively large tree, reaching a height of 45 meters when mature and a diameter at breast height of 1.5 meters. Second, there are many types, with nearly 80 species in the world. Third, they have a long lifespan, with many species having a lifespan of more than 1,000 years. Fourth, it has strong adaptability and can withstand high and low temperatures, as well as barrenness. It loves light, is drought-tolerant, and is easy to manage.

1. Characteristics

1. Large tree shape: There are many types of pine trees, but most of them are tall trees. When mature, they can reach about 45 meters in height and 1.5 meters in diameter at breast height. . And its material is relatively good, and there are many species that are well-known timber species.
