The genus Pinus comprises both shrubs and sizable, evergreen trees. Certain species feature notable bark and, as they mature, tend to form an irregular silhouette. The foliage consists of elongated, needle-like leaves arranged in clusters of 2, 3, or 5. Their prominent cones can either drop off or persist on the tree for several years.

Pinus 'Pierrick Bregéon' is a compact, evergreen conifer characterized by its low, rounded form, typically growing to about 45cm (18in) in height and spreading to 60cm (2ft) in width at maturity. This cultivar exhibits a tidy, densely branched structure. The needles are darker green, shorter, and more slender compared to the typical species. Its modest size makes it well-suited for urban gardens, courtyards, and containers, as well as for use in rock gardens, where it can serve as a distinctive evergreen feature.

This slow-growing pine species can attain heights of up to 15 meters (50 feet) at maturity, although it typically remains smaller. It features a trunk that tapers significantly, often twisting with age, and is covered in grey to reddish-brown bark that is deeply fissured. The canopy has an irregular, flat shape. In their natural environment, these trees can live for thousands of years, ranking among the oldest organisms on the planet. The evergreen needles are a deep blue-green, arranged in bundles of five, and can reach lengths of up to 4 centimeters (1.5 inches). These needles are long-lasting, with a lifespan of up to 17 years. The cones, which are roughly cylindrical and range in color from purple to brown, take two years to fully mature and are promptly shed after releasing their seeds.

Pinus armandii is a medium-sized conifer that typically reaches heights of up to 15 meters and exhibits an open, conical form. Its leaves, which are bluish-green, can grow as long as 15 centimeters and are arranged in clusters of five. The tree produces green cones that mature to a brown color, usually found in clusters of two or three, and measure between 8 and 20 centimeters in length.

Pinus balfouriana is a slow-growing conifer that can attain a height of 22 meters (73 feet) at maturity. The tree features an upright or slightly leaning trunk, which may reach a diameter of 2.6 meters (9 feet), and is covered in deeply fissured bark that displays a pinkish-brown hue. Its canopy is broadly conical and often showcases twisted branches. This species is known for its longevity in natural settings. The evergreen needles are grouped in fives, exhibiting a deep blue-green color and measuring up to 4 centimeters (1½ inches) in length. These needles are notably durable, often remaining intact for up to 30 years before falling. The cones of this pine are oval to cylindrical in shape, ranging in color from purple to red-brown, and take two years to fully mature before shedding their seeds shortly after dispersal.

Pinus banksiana is a medium-sized conifer that can reach heights of up to 15 meters, displaying a slender, conical form. In less fertile conditions, it may develop a more twisted and shrubby appearance. Its needle-like leaves, which are yellowish-green and grow in twisted pairs, measure between 2 and 4 centimeters in length. The cones, which are yellowish-brown, typically grow in pairs, are 3 to 6 centimeters long, and have a distinctive curved tip, often oriented forward along the branch.

Pinus banksiana 'Teardrop' is a compact, mound-forming pine that exhibits a slow growth rate. Its short, twisted needles are dark green and arranged in pairs. Once fully grown, this shrub typically attains a height of around 30 cm (12 in) and a width of approximately 60 cm (2 ft). This species serves well as a low-maintenance ground cover, thriving in dry, less fertile soils while requiring minimal care.

Pinus bungeana is a conifer that grows slowly, reaching heights of up to 30 meters. It typically branches low on the trunk, resulting in a bushy appearance similar to that of a large shrub. This species is often grown for its attractive smooth grey-green bark, which peels away to expose creamy-white areas that later darken to hues of red, purple, brown, and green. The leaves are bright green, stiff, and pointed, measuring between 5 to 10 centimeters in length, and they grow in clusters of three. The tree produces short-stalked brown cones that can reach lengths of up to 7 centimeters.
