We
grow White Pines which feature long
lasting, soft blue-green foliage, with a great pine scent. White Pines
decorate beautifully with lighter less concentrated adornments.White Pines
require the longest growing period of all the trees we grow. Leaves
(needles) are soft, flexible and bluish-green to silver green in color
and are regularly arranged in bundles of five. Needles are 2 1/2-5 inches
long and are usually shed at the end of the second growing season. Both
male and female flowers (strobili) occur on the same tree, with pollination
occurring in spring. Cones are 4-8 inches in length, usually slightly
curved and mature at the end of the second season. Cone scales are rather
thin and never have prickles. Cones also have exudations of a fragrant
gummy resin.
