Pine trees grow cones all summer. The cones are full of seeds and ready to drop late fall or winter.

No - A Pine tree is a mountain alpine tree and have modified leaves & cones. Deciduous trees lose their leaves every year, their leaves only last for a few months, where as pine needles last...

ALL pine trees are cone-bearing -that's where the pine-nuts come from. AND that is WHY they are classified as coniferous. (Coniferous means cone bearing.)

Yes, a pine is a member of the evergreen tree family.

Yes! its is!
