(White Pine)

Valued as a landscape and lumber tree, white pine is a stately, fast-growing evergreen with supple green needles and dark grayish brown bark. It is distributed across the eastern half of North America, from Newfoundland to Georgia, and grows best in open, upland areas with well-drained soils. Mature specimens become very tall, have straight trunks and broad, pyramidal crowns.

The long, flexible needles come in fascicles (groups) of five. These are fully evergreen and shed every two to three...

(White Pine)

This is among the smallest of all forms of white pine, Pinus strobus, with a stature and proportions that make it a true shrub. It is a form of a species that has proven to be a reliable component in American landscapes for hundreds of years. The range of the species spans most of the northeastern U.S. and southeastern Canada. An extremely slow-growing selecton, ‘Greg’ bears short, supple, blue-green needles. It very slowly forms a calf-high mound somewhat wider than tall, making a fine...
