Pines Quotes

My soul pines for the color in my heart.

~ Anthony T. Hincks

Once your baby tree is in the ground, check it daily, because the first three years are critical. Remember that you are your tree's only friend in a hostile world.

~ Hope Jahren

...winter crescent resting in the high pine bough - you fly through the woods like a lone snow bird...

~ John Geddes

The three species of pine native to Wisconsin (white, red and jack) differ radically in their opinions about marriageable age. The precocious jackpine sometimes bloom and bears cones a year or two after leaving the nursery, and a few of my 13-year-old jacks already boast of grandchildren. My 13-year-old reds first bloomed this year, but my whites have not yet bloomed; they adhere closely to the Anglo-Saxon doctrine of free, white, and twenty-one.

~ Aldo Leopold
