Some trees can grow just about anywhere.
It can grow where the soil is very dry and poor in nutrients or where the soil is very rich and moist. The one thing lodgepole pine cannot do without is sunlight. Other trees are more demanding and will grow only in certain parts of the province. Some trees are very particular about the amount of nutrients and moisture they receive. For example, arbutus occurs only in southern coastal areas within a few kilometres of the ocean, where the climate is mild in the winter and the summers are warm.
