Pines have a very unique offshoot structure that allows it to stand heavy snow fall. Its oily slim leaves help the plant retain moisture during harsh climates. All plants observed seem to have wide or longer leaves that allow the plant to catch more sunlight; which can be an adaptive feature. Pines are land plants that belong to the spermatophyta plants, to the pinaceae family, and to the pinus species (which includes over 192 known species).
