Pine trees, of course, are of enormous economic importance. ... Finally, pine nuts are used as food, the most famous recipe including them being pesto sauce. Aside from pines, a gymnosperm called ginkgo is planted throughout major American cities as a street tree because it is resistant to pollution.
