Though juvenile pinokes shed their branches every year, as most ferines do, as they approach full size they switch to only shedding needles and lignifying their adult branches, as well as thickening their trunk. This causes their cross-hatched bark texture and "lip" to fade with age. Shedding needles, combined with their wide crown to spread them far, creates a leaf litter barrier that restricts the germination of competing flora on the ground surrounding them. For the smallest bush-like forms, this prevents a second plant from growing in and over them from underneath, while larger forms are able to restrict other trees and shrubs.

Pinokes have pink, three-petal flowers which are usually pollinated by xenobees and minibees. The berries are sour, like those of their ancestor. They have reduced the number of seeds inside to two, forming a double pit. This allows the seeds to be bigger and therefore produce bigger seedlings, which aids them in pushing through leaf litter. They rely on various frugivores to spread the seeds to new locations, and were brought from Wallace to ~~Koseman~~ by the ferry quail.

There are many species of pinoke. As mentioned before, small forms can be found in most biomes; their arid adaptations inherited from their ferine ancestors combined with their bitter taste and needle-like leaves allows them to hold out in deserts, tundra, plains, and, for the smallest species, even above the treeline in the mountains. In all of these places, they prefer the shade of rocks or other flora if possible. Larger species up to around 8 meters are common in old growth shrublands, while most larger than that prefer woodlands. In some montane forests and shrublands, these can form the dominant late-succession flora over black flora, despite not being able to get quite as large.
