What is pine.leaves?

Pine trees have needle-like leaves that grow in clusters, which can range in size from less than an inch to more than a foot. The number of needles per cluster depends on the species of pine tree; some may have just two needles per cluster, while others can have up to five.

Pine needles are evergreen, meaning they do not fall off in the autumn or winter. They're also covered in a waxy coating that helps to prevent water loss, allowing pine trees to survive in areas with low rainfall or longer dry seasons.

Pine needles contain a high concentration of Vitamin C, and have been used in traditional medicine for their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. They can also be used in crafts, such as weaving pine needle baskets or making pine-scented sachets or candles.

Overall, pine needles play an important role in the ecosystem as they provide habitat for wildlife and contribute valuable nutrients to the soil when they eventually decompose.
