Question
Is Pinus an evergreen tree? Comment.
Solution
We know that trees which shed their leaves in a particular season are called deciduous trees. On the other hand, trees which shed their leaves throughout the year are evergreen trees; because they always appear to be covered with leaves. Pinus does not shed its leaves during any particular season rather keeps on doing so throughout the year. Hence, the pinus is considered an evergreen tree.
