Needles are green with woody, seed-bearing cones. Areas destroyed by fire are reseeded quickly by the pine tree as it's cones remain closed and attached for years. When confronted with heat from a fire, the cones open and spread their seeds for regrowth. Leaves are dark green in summer turning to red and yellow in the fall. Some maples are used to produce maple syrup from their sap.
Needles are grayish green to dark greenish black with drooping cones.
Spruce trees survive farther north than most trees, especially in the mountains. Leaves are dark glossy green turning to red in autumn. The oak is an important wildlife tree as it produces food from it's yearly crop of acorns. The following are pictures of young trees currently growing in Celebration Forest.
