Pine Trees for Sale | Evergreen Pinus Species Guide Pine Trees are extremely common North American trees. Within the pinus genus, there are estimated to be over one hundred species of tree. The differences between these species are small but specific, relating to the amount of needles, cone scale thickness, what time the cones open, or even the presence of a prickle on the scale of the seed. These remarkable trees are also commonly called “evergreen trees” because their green needles retain their color all year round. Their seasonal changes are confined to their reproductive patterns, and otherwise the trees remain the same in all weather and seasons.
