#WHITE PINE TREE FULL#

Before we came along and logged all the original trees, they were probably even taller, possible over 200 feet, and hundreds of years old, but we can do our bit and plant more to slowly re-build those magnificent forests. The fastest growth happens when your tree becomes 15 years old, and from then on, for the next 30 years, it should add about 3 feet every year. Wild trees are typically 75 to 100 feet tall, and in some areas even 150 feet. In time it will probably double that height. The Eastern White Pine is a fast-growing tree, and after 20 years it should be about 40 feet tall. The bark is gray, and will develop deep furrows, dividing it into plates and giving a tough, rugged look you will love. After a few years your trees will start to grow cones, which are up to 8 inches long, and relatively thin. The leaves are dark green, with a characteristic bluish tone, which makes this tree easy to recognize even from a distance. Look closely and you will see they are clustered into groups of 5, with a papery wrapping around the base of each bundle. The Eastern White Pine has long, soft needles, between 3 and 5 inches long. If this is you, and even if you garden in the northwest, you can have the pleasure of growing this tree in your garden. If you draw a line down the middle of the map, everything on the east, except for Florida, Mississippi and Louisiana, is the natural territory of this tree, from northern Canada to Georgia. The tallest native conifer in the northeast, this magnificent tree is an iconic feature of the natural landscape, and a wonderful tree for any garden. There are about 36 different pine trees native to North America, and about a dozen are common and widespread, but in the northeast, one pine literally stands supreme – the Eastern White Pine. The interest in native plants has been growing exponentially over the last few years, and more and more gardeners are rejecting exotic and highly-bred plants in favor of American native trees. Avoid changing the soil level around established, older pine trees, which are sensitive to soil being placed over the root zone. The once-dreaded blister rust is now a rare disease, and in most areas you will no longer encounter it – so your tree is safe. It needs no special care or pruning, and it has few pests or diseases.

Once established it has moderate resistant to normal summer drought periods.

This hardy tree is ideal for natural planting in cold areas, since it is hardy to zone 3, and it makes a beautiful lawn specimen. The needles are long and soft, with a characteristic blue-green color, and the cones are long and large. It grows rapidly, adding 3 feet a year once well-established, and it forms a beautiful tall, straight trunk, covered in rugged gray bark. The Eastern White Pine is an iconic native tree that grows naturally across all the eastern half of the country. We've gotta protect good ole' Mother Nature, after all. While we wish we could serve everyone, it's for the safety of native species and helps prevent the spread of invasive disease & pests.
