Eastern White Pine
A widespread adaptation between all trees are stems, which is one of the main two structural axes of vascular plants, and support leaves, fruits, flowers, and transport fluids between roots and upper structures in trees. Moreover, stems store nutrients and produce new living tissues.
One unique adaptation of pine trees is that pine trees can survive the winter because of their pine needles. Their pine needles, with their small surface, reduce water loss through transpiration. Moreover, they have a waxy coating that protects themselves from drying wind, and the dark color of the needles helps the pine trees absorb the warmth from the sun.
