How Do Pine Trees Grow? [PDF ebook] 

The pinecones found on the ground near a pine tree are an important part of the pine tree life cycle. They can hold hundreds of seeds. Like other plants, these seeds need soil, water, and sun. The seeds also need to be planted close to the surface of the soil. Beautiful photographs of full-grown pine trees, seeds sprouting, and seedlings correlate closely with the narrative, aiding beginning readers’ comprehension in the fascinating life cycle of a pine tree.
