The Eastern White Pine has 3 to 5 inch long needles. There are five blue green, thin needles per fascicle. These needles appear blue in color. Most people don't notice the flowers. These trees are monoecious; males cylindrical, yellow, in clusters near branch tips; females a light green, tinged with red, at ends of branches. The fruit cones are 4 to 7 inches long, cylindrical, with thin, rounded cone scales, and resinous. Cones are borne on a long stalks maturing around August to September. Being a large tree with very straight stems, the crown is conical when young, becoming wispy, with horizontal branches. This tree is considered fairly easy to grow. It grows well in heavy clay soils and has small fiberous roots which make it easy to transplant. It is used for screens and large hedges especially in new developments where soils may be compacted. It is also raised for timber. We always have a wide range of seedlings, transplants, liners, and B&B stock from 3' to 14'. Our larger trees are priced at about $10 per foot depending on the size of the order.
