In pine trees, photosynthesis primarily occurs in the needles, which contain chlorophyll and other pigments that capture light energy. The process takes place in the chloroplasts within the cells of the needles. While pine trees can photosynthesize in their bark and young branches to a lesser extent, the needles are the main sites due to their large surface area and adaptation to capture sunlight efficiently.
