Needle-like leaves borne singly or bundled in clusters of two to five along the twig; reproduction is by separate male and female cones on the same tree, the woody female cone made of overlapping seed-bearing scales rather than a fruit.
As true conifers, this family has no flowers or fruit at all — the number of needles bundled together at each point is one of the fastest ways to tell different pines apart in the field.
