The seeds are mostly small and winged, and are anemophilous (wind-dispersed), but some are larger and have only a vestigial wing, and are bird-dispersed. Each cone has numerous spirally arranged scales, with two seeds on each fertile scale the scales at the base and tip of the cone are small and sterile, without seeds. At maturity the female cones are 3–60 cm long. The female cones take 1.5–3 years (depending on species) to mature after pollination, with actual fertilization delayed one year. : 205 The male cones are small, typically 1–5 cm long, and only present for a short period (usually in spring, though autumn in a few pines), falling as soon as they have shed their pollen.
Pines are monoecious, having the male and female cones on the same tree. eaten by an animal), the needle fascicles just below the damage will generate a stem-producing bud, which can then replace the lost growth tip. If a shoot's growing tip is damaged (e.g. The needles persist for 1.5–40 years, depending on species. These bud scales often remain on the fascicle as a basal sheath. Each fascicle is produced from a small bud on a dwarf shoot in the axil of a scale leaf.
The needles can number from one to seven per fascicle, but generally number from two to five.
Needles, the adult leaves, are green ( photosynthetic) and bundled in clusters called fascicles. Scale leaves, similar to bud scales, are small, brown and not photosynthetic, and arranged spirally like the juvenile leaves. These are produced for six months to five years, rarely longer. Juvenile leaves, which follow immediately on seedlings and young plants, are 2–6 centimetres ( 3⁄ 4– 2 + 1⁄ 4 inches) long, single, green or often blue-green, and arranged spirally on the shoot. Seed leaves ( cotyledons) on seedlings are borne in a whorl of 4–24. Many pines are uninodal, producing just one such whorl of branches each year, from buds at the tip of the year's new shoot, but others are multinodal, producing two or more whorls of branches per year. The branches are produced in regular "pseudo whorls", actually a very tight spiral but appearing like a ring of branches arising from the same point. The bark of most pines is thick and scaly, but some species have thin, flaky bark. These "candles" offer foresters a means to evaluate fertility of the soil and vigour of the trees. The new spring shoots are sometimes called "candles" they are covered in brown or whitish bud scales and point upward at first, then later turn green and spread outward. The spiral growth of branches, needles, and cones scales may be arranged in Fibonacci number ratios. It was discovered in a grove beneath Wheeler Peak and it is now known as " Prometheus" after the Greek immortal. An older tree, now cut down, was dated at 4,900 years old. This tree can be found in the White Mountains of California. One individual of this species, dubbed " Methuselah", is one of the world's oldest living organisms at around 4,800 years old. The longest-lived is the Great Basin bristlecone pine ( P. longaeva). Pines are long lived and typically reach ages of 100–1,000 years, some even more. The smallest are Siberian dwarf pine and Potosi pinyon, and the tallest is an 81.8 m (268 ft) tall ponderosa pine located in southern Oregon's Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest. Made in USA with wrappers from Canada.Pine trees are evergreen, coniferous resinous trees (or, rarely, shrubs) growing 3–80 metres (10–260 feet) tall, with the majority of species reaching 15–45 m (50–150 ft) tall.

If you suspect that your unit is not functioning properly, a qualified contractor should be consulted. An inadequate air supply or downdraft could cause a fireplace malfunction. A properly installed and maintained fireplace and chimney will dramatically reduce the likelihood of combustion by products entering your home. If your fireplace is functioning properly, emissions of this product should be vented outdoors. These firelogs are made with recycled biomass products such as hardwood sawdust and ground tree nutshells. Up to 80% less carbon monoxide (15th Emission Inventory Conference, New Orleans, May 2006). Up to 75% less particulate matter (15th Emission Inventory Conference, New Orleans, May 2006).
