The remaining genera of the Abietineae, Pinus, Cedrus, Larix, produce long and short shoots. In Larix, represented by the Larch (Larix europcea), the long shoots produce linear leaves on all sides and continue the branching; the tree is not evergreen, for the leaves fall off each year, and the short shoots arise as tufts of thirty to forty linear leaves in the axils of the leaves of the long shoots of the previous year.
