Lifespan: Most pine trees grow between 100 and 1000 years. It is not uncommon however to find them being much older. Two of the oldest known, slow growing bristlecone pine trees come from California’s White Mountains and are believed to both be around 5000 years old. They were named Methuselah and Prometheus and their exact location is a secret kept hidden by park services for protection purposes. They are the second oldest (known) surviving trees.

Height: Mature Pines can reach from 3 to 80 metres (10 to 260 feet). However the majority of them reach between 15 and 45 metres ( 50 to 150 feet) tall. The smallest are Siberian Dwarf Pine and Potosi Pinyon, and the tallest stands at 81.79 metres (268.35 feet) tall, the Ponderosa Pine in Oregon, USA.

Fruits/Seeds: They are the only species of tree that reproduce from seeds in cones. Some of the cone seeds grow to large sizes and are called “Nuts”. 20 different types of pine nuts are used in human diet.
