I am trying to remember the year I planted this Eastern White Pine, and the best I can remember is about 1982-83. I collected it in the 'wild' as a very small sapling about 20-24" in height. As I do a lot, a spare five-gallon bucket and shovel are always in the back of the truck whenever I go on plant scouting excursions (aka "rescue missions"). In this case there was a lot of construction work going on, and I saw the need to save this tree with the permission of the property owner. Today, it stands at 40-45' in height, and the base covers a diameter of about 20-25 feet. It is a 'soft' feeling tree with the needles very pliable and easily handled. Robins always nest in the upper branches, and I'm sure they appreciate its seclusion as a spring and summer home.

This is a pine cone that has fallen more than a year ago.

Heavy, wet snow causes branches to bend and touch the grass. Normally these branches are at least 6 feet above the grass.
