This is probably a stupid question. Why is it that pine trees in America are cone-shaped, and Korean pine trees are just regular-tree shaped? Do they have to prune them to make them that way? Can I get pine trees like that in America if I want?

I know zilch about trees (other than hitting them on my mountain bike) but I should say that most of the pine trees I saw out West on Colorado, Utah, washington, and Cali really looked more like the trees here. In the Midwest they seemed more X-mas like.

The pine trees here really remind me of some great places and rides in the States and bring a sense of calm. When we move back it's a straight line to the Western states for us.

There is more than one species of pine tree in the world, right?

This is my favourite question asked on here. It's so random.
