  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.
Pines are mostly large trees with a straight trunk with whorls of smaller lateral branches, but they have a wide range of habits varying from tall narrow trees to small bushy trees to prostrate shrubs.
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.

 From the Pine Trees
Pine Trees are one of the few trees that are not deciduous, or in other terms, we do not lose our needles in winter.
The trees are about to lose their leaves, which is the main provision of sugar to sustain the life of the tree.
Pine trees have a sticky fluid that is similar to sap that runs through our veins; this is impossible to freeze unless the tree has become ill. It is for this reason that we retain the capability of photosynthesis year round.

Trees that are not completely girdled by the BTB larvae may survive attacks since BTBs do not carry the blue stain fungi.

Trees should be carefully planted to ensure the row alignment and spacing desired for good survival and initial growth.
Longleaf pine may also be planted on recommended sites; however, because of the slow initial growth of longleaf pine and the possibility of damage to young trees, cattle stocking rates should be low until the trees reach a height of four feet, which could take a few years.

In established pine plantings such as landscape settings, windbreaks, and Christmas tree farms, the only control measure is to remove affected trees and burn, bury or chip the wood before May 1.
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.
