Do the pine trees know it's Easter?

Do Pine Trees Know When It’s Easter?

Ever noticed the Pine tree crosses on Easter Sunday?

One type of pine tree which grows in the southeastern US, starts its new growth in the weeks before Easter...

If you look at the tops of the Pine trees about two weeks before, you’ll see the yellow shoots.

As the days get close to Easter Sunday, the tallest shoot will branch off and form a cross.

By the time Easter Sunday comes around, you will see most of the Pine trees
will have small yellow crosses on all of the tallest shoots...


Easter Blessings,
