Eastern White Pine

 The Eastern White Pine (Pinus strobus) is a majestic, long-lived evergreen tree native to eastern North America, known for its tall, straight trunk and soft, flexible needles. Typically reaching heights of 50 to 80 feet in cultivated landscapes—and over 100 feet in the wild—it features a broad, pyramidal shape when young that becomes more irregular and picturesque with age. Its needles are bluish-green, grouped in bundles of five, and emit a pleasant fragrance. The tree produces slender, cylindrical cones and is valued for its fast growth, adaptability, and historical significance as a source of timber. Ideal for use as a specimen tree, windbreak, or in naturalized plantings, the Eastern White Pine thrives in well-drained soils and full sun, making it a classic and graceful addition to large landscapes.
