Pine tree

/paɪn tri/ noun

Definition

A tall tree with long, thin, green needles instead of flat leaves.

Etymology

It's called a 'pine' tree from an old word meaning 'pain' because the needles can be sharp and prickly!

Kelly Says

Pine trees are like nature's Christmas trees with their pointy needles and tall triangle shape! They smell fresh and woodsy, and they stay green all year long.
