Please answer the following question: Given the following passage  "If a heavy piece of pine is compared with a lightweight piece it will be seen at once that the heavier one contains a larger proportion of latewood than the other, and is therefore showing more clearly demarcated growth rings. In white pines there is not much contrast between the different parts of the ring, and as a result the wood is very uniform in texture and is easy to work. In hard pines, on the other hand, the latewood is very dense and is deep-colored, presenting a very decided contrast to the soft, straw-colored earlywood.",  answer the following question. Note that the answer is present within the text.  Question: What would imply that a tree was growing during cold seasons?
A:
a larger proportion of latewood
