"<em>Pinus resinosa</em> Special ID Feature" by Julia Fitzpatrick-Cooper
 

Description

The needles snapping in half when bent is an excellent identification tool. If you can reach a branch bend a needle and it will snap. Other pine needles do not do this unless, of course, you try this on an extremely cold day!
