Landscape Uses and Maintenance - White Pine Tree

The White Pine Tree is an evergreen conifer. It has beautiful needles that are shaped like a brush, with very fine white streaks on the underside of the needle. These are graceful, long lasting trees that will be enjoyed by many generations to come.

Over time the bark will change in both color and texture, from gray and smooth to brown and rough.

Plant this tree in a location that has full sun to partial shade. Avoid planting it in heavy shade where its growth will be negatively impacted.

Give this tree moist and well draining soil. Avoid planting it in heavily compacted or clay soil locations. Make sure to water it thoroughly until it is well established in its new forever location.

This tree grows quickly, so if you are looking to create a natural living fence, this is a lovely evergreen option to enjoy for all four seasons.

You will not need to do any sort of aesthetic pruning with how beautifully this tree branches! Take care to prune off any damaged, rubbing or diseased branches yearly.

When it is young, you can give this evergreen conifer a balanced fertilizer to improve its overall health and development. Mature trees will not need fertilizer.

Plant Reproduction

White Pine Tree spreads via wind-dispersed seeds and lateral root sprouts.

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.
