Question

what is the main diffrence between a pine tree and a scrub?

Answer 1

There is a specific pine tree called a Virginia pine that, depending on its location and growth style, can also be called a scrub pine. The main difference between the scrub pine and a regular Virginia pine is the growth habit—the scrub pine tends to be short and squat (like a shrub) and often scraggly looking.

Answer 2

Pine tree is a plant with a single stem or trunk that can grow over 20 feet tall. Shrub tree has multiple stems and is much shorter under 20 feet.
