A pine tree showing its needle-like leaves and cones

Clue explained

A pine is a conifer, a cone-bearing tree in the group that also includes firs and spruces. Many conifers keep their needle-like leaves year-round, which is why they’re often called evergreens, though a few, such as larches, shed their needles. Here, “for one” asks for the broader category that includes pine.
