Is it Warmer Under Pine Trees?


I picked some cherry tomatoes this morning, even though we've had a couple of frosts here, west of Philadelphia. They are growing (still!) in pots and are not far from several big white pines. Can the pines be keeping the soil warmer somehow? Other years I've noticed that snow melts a little faster in that spot.
Also my five year old grandsons asked me why some trees stay green and others lose their leaves.
Thanks for any answers!
