Do pine trees have simple or compound leaves?
Well, being that there are so many types of pine trees, it would be difficult to answer specifics about your question. Generally, there are four types (stages) of pine foliage, with the needle, or “leaf” of the tree. If you are doing a lot of outdoor or architectural landscaping this year, you can consider spreading pine needles instead of cedar mulch, for aesthetic appeal. Not only is it lighter and easier to manage, it will cultivate much less potentially harmful bacteria. Here’s a caveat for you if you are asking about pine needles to learn more about the trunk, to determine whether or not to buy a piece of pine furniture. Think again and research leaves from other trees, such as maple, walnut, or oak instead. Although several of the much earlier antique pine pieces (early, century-old pieces) are valuable, I would research tree foliage maple, walnut, and/or oak, which is better for furniture, anyway.
