It played a crucial role in the history of North America, as it was highly valued for its tall, straight trunks that were used in shipbuilding during the colonial era.

Care Instructions

Different plants have different watering needs. Check the soil moisture by inserting your finger about an inch into the soil. If it feels dry, water the plant until the water drains from the bottom of the pot. Avoid overwatering, as it can lead to root rot.
