Does North Dakota have many trees?

Answer 1

It is very difficult to give a specific number of evergreen trees anywhere. Rather than keeping a specific count, trees are noted for how many acres they cover.

Evergreen trees found in North Dakota are:

Cedar, Eastern Red- (Juniperus virginiana)

Juniper, Rocky Mountain (Juniperus scopulorum)

Pine, Limber (Pinus flexilis)

Pine, Ponderosa (Pinus ponderosa)

Pine, Scotch (Pinus sylvestris)

Spruce, Black Hills White (Picea glauca var. densata)

Spruce, Colorado (Picea pungens)

Answer 2

In the spring of 2002, conservation districts in South Dakota planted over 4 million trees. This shows why it would be difficult to give a specific answer stating how many evergreen trees are in South Dakota.

Rather than number of trees, the amount of area where the trees are found is used to give an idea of how many trees there are.

In South Dakota, the Ponderosa Pine is the dominant tree in the West River area, covering more than 1.3 million acres.

Other evergreen trees found in South Dakota:

Frasier Fir

Rocky Mountain Douglas Fir

White Fir

European Larch

Austrian Pine

Eastern White Pine

Scotch Pine

Black Hills Spruce

Colorado Blue Spruce

Meyers Spruce

Norway Spruce

Serbian Spruce
