This month’s question was how long have the pine family (think trees) been around? The pine family (Pinaceae) have been around since at least the Lower Cretaceous period (135 million years ago).
The question (and answer) were taken from p. 63 of The Oxford Encyclopedia of Trees of the World edited by Bayard Hora. The book was published in 1981 by Oxford University Press.
