| | Pine Wilt |
 | | The pinewood nematode is transmitted from pine to pine by a bark beetle, the pine sawyer (Monochamus carolinensis). | | | The pine sawyer bark beetles are attracted to stressed trees so, plantings should be kept from stress situations by controlling diseases and insects as well as providing water during extended dry periods. | | | In May or June, adult pine sawyers emerge from pine trees and fly to new trees and feed under the bark of young pine shoots. |

| | 1. What are pine trees? |
| | Pine trees (the genus Pinus) are distinguished from all other trees by: (a) having uncovered seeds borne in pairs on the bracts of (female) cones (as do other genera of the Pinaceae family) and (b) narrow leaves ("needles") arranged in bundles of 2 to 5 and with a permanent or deciduous sheath at their bases. | | | Diploxylon pines generally differ from the Haploxylon pines by having harder yellower wood, cones that are often armed with a prickle, stiffer needles with permanent needle sheaths and the development of rough scaly bark at a younger age. | | | The pollen is carried by wind and gravity; none of the pines is pollinated by insects or birds. |

| | Care should be taken to minimize limb breakage and avoid tree trunk damage to reduce the potential for buildup of forest insects and the spread of pine diseases. | | | Planting pine trees for optimum wood and forage production and managing trees, forage, and livestock in a forestland pasture are the focus of this publication. | | | If trees are to be planted in established bahiagrass sod, severe moisture shortages in the summer may require some site preparation in 12- to 16-inch bands where trees are to be planted. |

| | News in Science - Pine trees may help create smog, acid rain - 13/03/2003 |
| | Large scale planting of pine trees to act as 'carbon sinks' has been promoted by some, the theory being that fast-growing trees absorb and retain carbon dioxide from the air. | | | While the gases produced by pine trees could in theory deliver as much air pollution as worldwide industrial emissions, in reality most trees do not grow in air that has the very low background levels of nitrogen oxides needed for the trees to emit NOx in the first place. | | | The researchers were surprised to find NOx produced by the pine needles, and that levels rose when shoots were exposed to ultraviolet radiation from the Sun. |

| | Pine Tree |
| | The Pine trees constitute a large genus, comprising more than a hundred species, or about one-third of all known Conifers; and they range geographically throughout the Northern Hemisphere from Borneo and from Mexico (where, on the sides of Popocatapetl, they extend to an altitude of 12,693 feet, the limit of vegetation) to the Arctic Circle. | | | At a certain age, however, the tree ceases to increase in height; and the last-formed branches lengthening, whilst the lower ones frequently decay, give it a spreading, flat-topped, or parasol-like outline. | | | It is also among the beauties of the Stone Pine that, as the lateral branches decay, they leave generally stumps which, standing out in various parts of the stem, break the continuity of its lines. |
