About
White Pine Trees: A fast growing pyramidal pine with
soft, light green to bluish needles in bunches of five 4”-6”
long. Grows well in a variety of soils, but best in deep, damp, sandy,
well-drained soil with plenty of sun preferred. The largest conifer
of the Northeast, Eastern White Pine is used for construction, millwork,
trim, and pulpwood. Younger trees and plantations have replaced the
once seemingly inexhaustible lumber supply of virgin forests.

The
tall straight trunks were prized for ship masts in the colonial
period. It is the state tree of Maine, the Pine Tree State; the
pine cone and tassel are the state's floral emblem. The seeds were
introduced in England (where it is called Weymouth Pine) from Maine
in 1605 by Captain George Weymouth of the British Navy.
