Description
The Eastern White Pine (Pinus strobus) is a tall, graceful tree known for its straight trunk and long lifespan. With needles growing in bundles of five, its soft, bluish-green foliage gives it a distinctive, feathery appearance. These trees can grow up to 150 feet tall in ideal conditions, with smooth bark that deepens into furrows as the tree ages. The long, flexible cones house small, winged seeds, making them easy to disperse by wind.
Eastern White Pines are highly valued for their straight-grain wood, ideal for construction and furniture. Thriving in well-drained, slightly acidic soils, these trees adapt well to various climates and can live for centuries, providing shelter and food for wildlife along the way. Their wide crowns and resilience to cold and drought make them a staple in both forestry and landscape design.
