A pine tree can weigh much more than a ton. The biggest pine tree ever was "Old Boss," a 6 feet in diameter and 120 feet tall. That is roughly 3000 cubic feet of wood. The density of pine is around 30 lbs per cubic foot, meaning this tree weighed roughly 100,000 pounds or 50 tonnes.

On page 2 of this source about determining the weight of pine trees:
http://www.uaex.edu/Other_Areas/publications/PDF/FSA-5017.pdf
is a chart which shows that a good estimate is that a pine which is more than 14 inches in diameter will weigh more than a tonne.
