Pine tree

Pine trees (Pinus xmas) became extinct during the Fifty-Year Squirts, when they were all chopped down to make toilet paper, over eight hundred years ago, gone the way of the poodle and the primitive notions of modesty of 20th century people. However, their seeds have been kept preserved in the Svalbard Global Seed Vault, and they were even seen in forests in 3004.

In a non-canon segment regarding Xmas 3010, pine trees were brought back from extinction by the Planet Express crew. However, they had been mutated by a virus from the Germ Warfare Repository and eventually covered Earth in forests. Due to all the oxygen they created, the atmosphere burned up when Bender lit a cigar.

Trivia

 * The pine trees only appeared in a non-canon segment, so they may not actually be kept in the Svalbard Global Seed Vault.
 * In "Spanish Fry", the Planet Express crew went to a forest that seems to be coniferous. It is most likely that its pine trees were artificial.
