Description

The listing, 130 Seeds Eastern White Pine Tree Seeds has ended.

While the West Coast has taller trees, the eastern white pine is the biggest conifer native to eastern North America. This fast-growing evergreen with long, soft, blue-green needles is commonly found as far north as Newfoundland and as far south as northern Georgia, a span covering growing zones 3 to 8. T
this is a gymnosperm—a tree that bears seeds that are exposed in a cone structure rather than enclosed in a nut The tree's cones are cylindrical and are the largest pine cones found in many areas of the tree's range, reaching as much as 6 inches long. By comparison, the pine cones of a pitch pine (​Pinus rigida) measure only about 3 1/2 inches long.
Unless you are willing to prune regularly to keep this tree shrub-sized, give it lots of space, as it quickly matures into a very large specimen. Individual trees should be planted at least 20 to 30 feet away from any other trees or shrubs.
Keep the tree well-watered when young, but once established it does fairly well in dryish soil, provided the soil is kept cool. If given about 1 inch of water weekly, it remains a happy specimen.
This tree does well with at least 4 hours of direct sunlight each day. The hotter the climate, the more it appreciates some shade.
This is a tree that prefers cool, humid weather, and it sometimes struggles in the warmer end of its hardiness range
The eastern white pine grows to a height of 50–80' and a spread of 20–40' at maturity. Growth Rate This tree grows at a fast rate, with height increases of more than 24" per year.
