How does the pine tree survive in the winter?

Answer 1

Pines, like any other coniferous and deciduous tree, go into dormancy during the winter, storing all their nutrients within their trunks and roots. They keep their leaves (called needles) during the winter, unlike deciduous trees, because they don't have as large a surface area as leaves do that would make them freeze and die in very cold temperatures.

Answer 2

Bob is a pine tree. He has adapted to winter and his needles havn't fallen off.Bob thinks something is wrong with him. All off his friends leave have follen off. Now they make fun off Bob. He isn't always cold, but his friends are. During all of winter Bob is nice and warm because his needles hadn't fallen off. Now he feels good about himself and makes fun of his friends because they can't stay warm. But the mane reson Bob still has his needles because he can still get moisture from the ground and his friends can't.

Answer 3

As with most trees that grow in areas that experience below freezing temperatures, the tree goes dormant. The tree stops conducting water upward from the soil, nutrients are moved to the roots for storage, and various chemicals and compounds (such as sugars) are produced in the needles to prevent the freezing of live cells. Most of the cells in the tree are already dead, so very few need this "antifreeze" protection.

Answer 4

Yes. The same way other trees do. It's a sort of hibernation.

Answer 5

pine trees store the water from the snow and drink it, and sleep most of the time.

Answer 6

Because they have needle-like leaves to help them survive. oh just in case you were wondering,a 10 year old typed this

Answer 7

During winter pine trees protect themselves from extrem cold by dveloping more essential oils in ther cells to avoid freezing of water with the cell.

Answer 8

special trees :) special trees :)
