I don't think it was that one. I'll look it up in the Discworld Companion
(very handy :)... Counting Pines... about a third of a page, so I won't
bother typing it in, but it comes down to those pines deciding that
humans cut trees down so they could see how old the trees were. So the
pines conveniently displayed their exact age on the trunk, at eye-level.
"Within a year they were felled almost to extinction by the ornamental
house number-plate industry".
It also says they're from Reaper Man, BTW :)
