"<em>Pinus resinosa</em> Leaf Number/Attachment" by Julia Fitzpatrick-Cooper
 

Description

Pinus resinosa is a two-needle pine. The needles persist for only 4 years and are clustered near the end of the branches. The 5-6 inch needles are thin, soft, and snap in half when bent. This is a great identification feature and fun to do!
