Question
Is Pinus an evergreen tree? Comment.

Answer

Yes, Pinus trees are evergreen, coniferous resinous trees. The leaves in gymnosperms are well-adapted to withstand extremes of temperature, humidity and wind. In conifers, the needle-like leaves reduce the surface area. Their thick cuticle and sunken stomata also help to reduce water loss. Unlike deciduous plants, Pinus do not shed their leaves so it is an evergreen tree.
