Landscape Uses & Maintenance of White Pine Trees
The White Pine Tree is an evergreen conifer. Its beautiful needles are shaped like brushes, with very fine white streaks on the underside of the needle. Many generations will enjoy these graceful, long-lasting trees.
Over time, the bark will change in both color and texture, from gray and smooth to brown and rough. This beautiful conifer can handle full sun to partial shade. Avoid planting it in heavy shade, as its growth will be negatively impacted.
Give this tree moist, well-draining soil. Avoid planting it in heavily compacted or clay soil. Water it thoroughly until it is well established in its new forever location. This tree grows quickly, so if you want to create a natural living fence, this is a lovely evergreen option for all four seasons.
With the beauty of these tree branches, you will not need to do any sort of aesthetic pruning! However, 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.
