Eastern White Pine are the kings of the Eastern forests and one of the tallest evergreen trees in North America. White Pine reach heights of up to 120 feet tall [rarely to 200ft], with a spread of up to 30 feet during a life span of easily 200 years.
CLOSED for the summer, sales resume in late August 2024The long blue-green needles of White Pine average 2 to 5 inches in length, and lower branches often fall away as it reaches maturity, leaving a tall bare trunk with a “crown” of branches at the top. It is also known as Northern White Pine or just White Pine.
White Pine prefer full sun and well drained soils, and so planting in light to dark sandy loamy soils in open spaces is ideal. This species does well in mild to moderate drought once established with good deep root systems. The mature height, branching nature and seed type make this pine species an ideal squirrel, chipmunk and bird shelter and food source. Birds of prey often nest in White Pine due to the high vantage point and the animals attracted by its seed.
Harvested extensively from Michigan for the rebuilding of Chicago after the great fire of 1871, Eastern White Pine is now the official state tree of Michigan. Only a few patches of old growth specimens remain in our home state of MI, such as Hartwick Pines State Park.
