Pine trees can grow in Karachi

When you think of pine, you normally think of high elevations (3000 ft above sea level or higher) and/or high latitudes (35 degrees North/South latitude or higher). Karachi lies just above the Tropic of Cancer and most of the city is 10 to 100 ft above sea level.  But pine trees can grow and thrive in Karachi.  I found these two pine trees near the State Life Building at PIDC.
