👉 Elaeocarpus is a genus of coniferous trees in the family Rutaceae, commonly known as willows or pines. They are typically characterized by their large leaves that can reach up to 6 feet (2 meters) long and their needles that grow on the outside of the branches in clusters called cones. These plants are widely distributed across North America, Europe, and Asia, with some species found in tropical regions as well.
