Pine Tree

The tree shown here is a pine tree. The specific name is a Norway Sprewce. Pine trees are commonly used as Christmas trees. Their leaves help identify them because they are thin and grouped on a stem. Many species of birds, chipmunks and insects make homes on a pine. Birds nest in them and the insects and chipmunks live inside the tree. The bark is also used for food for insects that live in the bark and some that feed from the outside. Pines are very well known and can be found in many forests. Even though this is a Norway Sprewce, there are many different types of pine trees including the Douglas Fir. Pine trees are a very known and commonly seen tree. Whether you found one in the woods or you got a Christmas tree, pine trees are a great tree to see.
