Eastern White Pine (Pinus strobus) - 3 gallon 18"

The Eastern White Pine is a magnificent, fast-growing evergreen that brings majestic scale and natural windbreak capabilities to any large landscape. Known as the "King of the North Woods," it builds a dense privacy screen or a stunning focal point in an open lawn with its incredibly soft, silvery-green needles. If you have the space and want a stately tree that anchors your yard for generations, this pine is a spectacular option. Reaching a mature size of 50 to 80 feet tall and 20 to 40 feet wide, it makes a grand statement. To encourage the thickest, most lush canopy, plant your tree in a spot that gets full sun—at least six hours of direct light a day—though it will happily tolerate partial shade.

Because it thrives in well-draining soils and handles our mountain cold with absolute ease, it is a resilient addition to your garden. However, those famously soft needles are incredibly tempting to local wildlife. While older trees hold their own, you will definitely want to protect young saplings with deer repellent or netting until they grow beyond easy reach. Give it plenty of room to stretch its branches, water it deeply while it establishes its roots, and you will be rewarded with a long-lived masterpiece. You can explore these beautiful trees right now at Watters Garden Center.
