- The needle- like leaves help to reduce the loss of water from the trees in winter when there is no moisture to be absorbed from the soil.
- The wide shallow roots enable trees to tap water from the top soil as the subsoil is frozen .
- Most of the trees are evergreen so as to have maximum utilization of sunlight during the short growing season.
- Tree trunks are flexible to enable them sway without breaking during the strong winds.
- The trees have conical shape and flexible branches which allows snow to slide easily/ and to minimize damage to the trees.
- The leaves have a tough waxy skin which protects them from winter cold.
