Product Description
Our plastic pine tree will add a bit of colorful foliage to your diorama or school project. The tree is very dark green, although it looks almost black in the photo. We have plenty of animals to go with the landscape you create. Do you make model railroad layouts? Our plastic trees could lend some variety. The name "Pine" is stamped in small letters on the bottom of the tree's base. Therapists like to use our realistic models for sand trays. Check out our other tree, flower, and plant replicas, toys and gifts.
In the broadest definition from Wikipedia, "a tree is a plant with an elongated stem, or trunk, supporting leaves or branches". Under this definition, palms, bamboo, and tree ferns are included as "trees". Some definitions attempt to narrow this to what most of us consider trees by naming specific height or use for lumber. However, when it comes right down to it, a 100-foot tree is still basically a plant, like any other bush, flower, or crop plant. There are approximately 115 species of pine tree located throughout the Northern Hemisphere. Pines are evergreen resinous trees. The largest pine in the world is a 268-foot Ponderosa pine located in Oregon. The many species of pine are adapted to survive in a variety of environments and conditions, including cold mountainous regions, hot semi-desert regions, and extremely wet or dry conditions. Some species of pine actually need regualr forest fire to regenerate, and decline in areas where fire is regorously suppressed.
