Additional Information
Attributes:
The ease of transplanting and rapid growth of the White Pine tree make it an ideal
candidate for landscape and windscreen applications. Wildlife that eat the seeds range
form chickadees and game birds to rabbits and black bears. White Pines are widely used as
Christmas trees and are still very important as a lumber source.
Description:
A hardy, valuable tree. Clustered soft blue-green needles. Ideal screen or windbreak.
Likes moist, well-drained soils. Grows to 80', 40' spread.
Wildlife Value:
White pine seeds are favored by black bears, rabbits, red squirrels, and many birds,
especially red crossbills. While potentially damaging to the trees, the bark is eaten by
mammals such as beavers, snowshoe hares, porcupines, rabbits and mice. White pines provide
nesting sites as well for many birds, including woodpeckers, common grackles, mourning
doves, chickadees and nuthatches.
History/Lore/Use:
The Eastern White Pine tree has been referred to as "the monarch of the forest."
Some that greeted the first settlers reached a height of 250 feet with diameters of 6
feet. They were a bonanza for England in colonial times, as they met a vital military and
commercial need for sailing ship masts. Since the colonists were rapidly using up the
existing supply of trees close to the ocean that were large enough for masts, the Royal
Navy appealed to Parliament. As a result, in 1691 Great Britain imposed the first of the
so-called "broad arrow" acts, so named because of the axe mark placed on the
reserved trees by the king's men, that reserved these trees for the English government.
Growing resentment to the crown's appropriation of the choicest White Pines helped
precipitate the Revolutionary War, and the first flag of the revolutionary forces even had
a White Pine as its emblem.
