Pinus
strobus, commonly called
Eastern white pine, is a rapid-growing, long-lived, needled evergreen tree that
is native to the northeastern United States and Canada (State tree of Maine and
Michigan). Although pyramidal in its early years, it matures to a broad oval
habit with an irregular crown. Typically grows 50-80' in cultivation, but will
grow to 100' tall in the wild, with records existing to over 200'. Landscape
size and shape can be controlled through pruning, however, to the extent that
white pine may be sheared and grown as a hedge. Bluish green needles (to
5" long) are soft to the touch and appear in bundles of five. Cylindrical,
brown cones (4-8" long) are usually not produced until 5-10 years. An
important timber tree (perhaps more so in the 18th and 19th centuries than now)
which was and is valued for its lightweight, straight-grained wood (orange
heartwood and white sapwood).
