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."

A slow release organic fertilizer is the preferred fertilizer for white pine trees (Pinus strobus).

Otherwise, they favor applications of timed release organic fertilizers and of regular chelated iron treatments.

Are there male and female pine trees?

Oak trees are monoecious, meaning that they have male and female flowers on the same plant. Unlike many other flowering plants, however, they have separate male and female flowers. The male flowers produce pollen, while the female flowers produce eggs that will be fertilized once the flowers are pollinated. Each oak tree is essentially both male and female, since it features both male and female flowers. The male flowers are small structures on stalk-like appendages called catkins; the catkins droop down from some of the branches. Female flowers are so small they are best identified with a magnifying glass. They are found on twigs near the base of emerging leaves, where they appear a week or so before the male flowers.
