Several features are used to distinguish the subgenera, sections, and subsections of pines: the number of leaves (needles) per fascicle, whether the fascicle sheaths are deciduous or persistent, the number of fibrovascular bundles per needle (2 in Pinus or 1 in Strobus), the position of the resin ducts in the needles (internal or external), the ...

[4] Sugar pine is notable for having the longest cones of any conifer, mostly 10–50 cm (4– 19 + 3 ⁄ 4 in) long, [ 2 ] [ 5 ] exceptionally to 60 cm ( 23 + 1 ⁄ 2 in) long [ citation needed ] (although the cones of the Coulter pine are more massive); their unripe weight of 1–2 kilograms (2.2 ...

The cones and buds gradually drip syrup, which is then boiled down to a concentrate and ...
