Here is a picture of my white pine tree in my front yard. It reminds me of a Charlie Brown Christmas tree because it's foliage is sparse and the little conifer is hanging over at the top, even without any ornaments other than snow. But I think it is still beautiful. It stands as a testament to endurance. This summer it was violently attacked by saw pine borers. The nasty worms ate all the needles except a handful. The needles you see on this tree have all grown back this year only at the tips making it look like a bottle brush tree. It's trunk is bent but not broken. Rock on Charlie Brown Christmas Tree!
