Common name: Eastern white pine, Weymouth pine
Pinus strobus is an evergreen conifer, a 5-needled white pine. It is native to eastern North America and is the tallest tree in that region. It is the provincial tree of Ontario. Given its value as lumber, it has played an important role in North American history. They were known as mast trees in colonial times of British shipbuilding.
We have several specimens, including cultivars, many of which are in the Eastern North America Garden.
