How do pine trees survive the winter?

In: Trees and Shrubs, Botany or Plant Biology [Edit categories]

Answer:

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.
