Do pine trees attract birds and insects?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Most definitely. If you don't have your pine straw spread in one day, they infest. In one day you have to spread it around your house, and them spread pesticide (the best) on top of that (do this every few months). I do this every spring/ summer in Georgia for about 5-7 years, seen it all done it all. Hope this helps.

Is pine easy to shape?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes and No.

Some of the advantages of working with pine is that it is about 1/10 the cost of common hardwoods like oak and almost every hardware/lumber store has many different sizes and cuts of pine lumber to choose from. Pine is relatively soft and can be easy to cut, carved and sanded.

The disadvantages of using pine is that it is extremely soft. It warps, dents and scratches extremely easy. Pine also contains more sap than most woods, and can be sticky and messy to work with as well as coat your blades and tools with pitch. Pine also needs to acclimatize to the environment it will exist in as a finished product. Pine is often very wet, and when it dries i can crack and warp. Sometimes you have to let pine sit inside your workshop/house for months, to let it dry properly before your project, otherwise once assembled into a piece of furniture, it may warp. There is always exceptions to the rule. You can minimize the warping factor by using pine as the framework, and other woods like hardwood plywood or oak as the coverings. You can also pick through the best looking and driest pieces at the store.

When a pine tree is cut down will the roots still support a slope or small hillside?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

When you cut the tree down the roots will live on and continue to support your slope. Slowly another tree will start to grow. However, if you kill the roots they will eventually rot out and your slope will lose it's support.

How much paper does a pine tree make?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It depends on how much paper one person recycles; the organizations do not give stats for one person. However, every ton (2000 pounds) of recycled paper can save 17 trees. That means each tree is worth about 117.647058824 pounds of paper (rounded up it is 117.65 pounds). According to the University of Southern Indiana, "The average household throws away 13,000 separate pieces of paper each year. Most is packaging and junk mail." "If every American recycled just one-tenth of their newspapers, we would save about 25,000,000 trees a year."

How do pine trees pollinate?

User Avatar

Asked by Equine49

They are wind-pollinated. The anthers will release the pollen when the conditions are right, (usually about 2pm West-USA time) when the day is at it's warmest and the air at it's driest. Pollen is not released when it rains as rain has a devastating affect on pollination - it simply wipes the pollen out of the sky.
