It has a conical to cylindrical shape with horizontal branches. The needles are slender, flexible, and typically occur in bundles of five. They are bluish-green in color and can grow to be 3 to 5 inches (7.6 to 12.7 centimeters) long. The bark is grayish-brown and often furrowed with deep ridges.

  • Habitat: This pine species is adaptable and can thrive in a variety of habitats, ranging from moist lowlands to dry upland forests. It is commonly found in mixed forests and can often serve as an early colonizer of disturbed areas.

  • Cultural and Economic Significance: Eastern white pine has significant cultural and economic importance. 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. The tree's wood is still prized for its straight grain and light weight, making it suitable for a wide range of applications, including construction, furniture, and millwork.

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.
