Eastern white pine

FamilyPinaceae

Pinus strobus is an iconic and elegant ornamental conifer, better known as the Eastern White Pine, valued for its fine, soft evergreen foliage composed of light bluish-green needles that provide a light and bright presence all year round in beds, hedges, or large gardens. Its slender pyramidal silhouette softens with age, lending a graceful and harmonious structure to the landscape, ideal as a shade tree, isolated specimen, or structuring element in residential or public landscape designs. Very hardy and tolerant of a variety of well-drained soils, this tree prefers a sunny to partial shade exposure, where it thrives without particular requirements, adding a persistent plant backdrop even in cold climates.
