Pinus strobus- Eastern White Pine

Eastern White Pine - Pinus strobus

Eastern white pine is a stately canopy tree, 75-100 ft. tall at maturity; sometimes much taller. Gracefully plume-like in outline, white pine is very distinctive when compared to other conifers. Its branches are horizontal and tiered. Tufts of light- to bluish-green needles are borne in feathery clusters of five only toward the ends of the twigs. Cones are 6-8 in. long.

Trees are shade tolerant, deer resistant and evergreen
