🌲 Pinus strobus (Eastern White Pine)
Tall Evergreen Conifer | Eastern North American Native | Keystone Species | Year-Round Wildlife Cover
Highlights for Native Plant Enthusiasts:
🐦 Dense evergreen canopy offers critical shelter and nesting habitat for birds year-round
🐿 Seeds in soft, slender cones feed red squirrels, crossbills, grosbeaks, and small mammals
🐛 Host plant for native Lepidoptera, including the Imperial Moth and Pine Devil Moth
💨 Excellent as a windbreak, visual screen, or shelterbelt in native plantings
🌳 A key species in northeastern forests, pine barrens, and successional woodlands
🌿 Adds evergreen structure and vertical diversity to wildlife-focused landscapes
Growing Information:
Height: 50–100 ft+ | Spread: 20–40 ft
Soil: Prefers well-drained, acidic soils but tolerates a wide range of sandy or loamy substrates
Light: Full sun to part shade
Zones: 3–8
Type: Fast-growing evergreen conifer
Longevity: Long-lived—some trees exceed 200 years
Why Native Growers Love It:
Pinus strobus is a towering symbol of the eastern forest—and one of the most ecologically important conifers in its range. It provides year-round structure, food, and cover for native species, especially during the lean winter months when shelter is at a premium.
With its soft, feathery needles and upright form, it brings elegance to native hedgerows, reforestation projects, and woodland borders—and serves as a valuable anchor for four-season biodiversity.
It’s especially vital in young forest recovery, wildlife corridors, and upland restoration plantings, where it establishes quickly and helps shade out invasives.
Seed-grown from regional sources without synthetic pesticides or herbicides.
🛒 Plant Pinus strobus—shelter the wild, restore the canopy, and grow something timeless.
