Why the White Pine Tree is Perfect for Your Landscape

White Pine Trees grow naturally from Southeastern Manitoba, Canada, east to Newfoundland, Canada, south to Northern Georgia, and west to Northeast Iowa can also provide a good screen.

Homeowners living in zones three to eight can easily grow them. This includes everyone in the United States except those in Deep South Texas, South Louisiana, most of Florida, Southwestern Arizona, many parts of California, and Southeastern Washington.

How to Care for a White Pine Tree Essential Tips for Healthy Growth

In the wild, it can grow to be 135 feet tall. When planted by homeowners or in commercial settings, these trees often reach a height between 50 and 80 feet. They proliferate, and when they are mature, they often have a 20- to 40-foot span.

These pyramidal-shaped trees can tolerate many soil conditions. They prefer to be planted in slightly acidic soil where they will get at least four hours of sun daily. This tree is so hardy that it naturally grows in many different settings, from rocky cliff edges to bogs. When planted in well-drained soil, the tree thrives best but needs occasional watering if conditions get too dry.

The blue-green needles of White Pine Tree are attached to branches in sets of five. They are soft to the touch and very pliable and grow to be between three and five inches long. After this tree reaches maturity, you may see some needles turn yellow. The yellowing color indicates older needles about to drop to make room for new growth. This process typically happens in the fall, but it can occur in the spring depending on your environment.

Benefits of Planting White Pine Trees in Your Garden

Male and female pinecones grow on the same tree. They usually start to grow in the early spring. Looking closely, you can see that male pinecones have overlapping scales. As the pinecone matures, the scales stop overlapping, and male pinecones release seeds. Female pinecones on this tree are much more giant than their male counterparts. They can grow to be 8'' long and 1'' in diameter.

Consider the White Pine Tree if you are looking for a long-living tree that grows quickly and efficiently. When planted, they can live up to 200 years and reach heights up to 80 feet tall. They are instrumental as windbreaks and screens and will grow in almost any condition.

This Is How Your Plants Will Look upon Delivery

Plant bare root trees during the dormant season in early spring or late fall (November through April). Dig the hole twice as wide as the roots so the soil is well-drained. Position the tree so the root flare is at or just above ground level. Fill the hole back with the soil you dug from and water. Maintain soil moisture, especially in the tree's early years, by providing deep, regular watering. Apply a 2-4 inch mulch away from the trunk at the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Prune trees during the first few seasons to establish strength and resilience, remove damaged branches, and continue maintenance pruning as the tree matures. Regularly inspect for pests and diseases and apply integrated pest management practices. Protect young trees from mechanical damage and extreme temperatures with tree guards, and stake them if necessary for support, removing the stakes after one or two years.
