Facts About Pine Tree
Pines are evergreen coniferous trees that belong to the family Pinaceae.

They are found in such places as Europe, Africa, Asia, the United States, and Canada.
Pine trees flourish in temperate and subtropical climates.
They can be found growing in altitudes of up to 4,000 meters (13,000 feet).
They grow well in sandy or well-drained soil.
Fully grown trees require full sun and very little water to survive.
A pine is any conifer in the genus Pinus of the family Pinaceae. Pinus is the sole genus in the subfamily Pinoideae. The Plant List compiled by the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew and Missouri Botanical Garden accepts 126 species names of pines as current, together with 35 unresolved species and many more synonyms.
Explanation:
Browning is often caused by an inability of the pine tree to uptake enough water to keep its needles alive. When moisture is overly abundant and drainage is poor, root rot is often the culprit. ...
