You are right. The spines can be different from one situation to another. Though different they are still arranged in the same patterns, etc. But, they may be longer, thinnner, differently colored, or even missing. Extra water or extra drought makes a different, as do sunshine and shade.

I take it-the needles are different-and sometimes the pad-in different locations. I have a very long needle one-scroungy looking-and in new soil this year-still pretty scroungy!! Mine is in a pot in Ga.
