White Pine Seedlings
Age: 2-0, 3-0
Size: 6-12”
Soil Moisture: Medium-Moist
Native to Michigan, White Pines (Pinus strobus) can be identified by their clusters of long, soft, blue-green needles that grow in bundles of five. This differentiates them from red and jack pines, whose needles grow in bundles of two. The trees have red-brown bark that forms scaly plates. They produce elongated 3-8-inch cones containing small, winged seeds.
White pine seeds and shoots are eaten by birds and small mammals. The inner bark is eaten by hares, porcupines and beavers. White pines provide shelter and nesting sites for birds like woodpeckers, chickadees, nuthatches and mourning doves.
Ideal screen or windbreak. Likes moist, well-drained soils. Grows 50' to 80' with a 20-40' spread in the landscape, up to 135' or more in the wild. Do not plant under power lines.
*A mature height of less than 15 feet is recommended for trees planted near power lines. Tall growing trees should be planted a minimum of 20 feet away from power lines, and 50 feet away to avoid future pruning.
*This plant will be packaged as "bare root". Bare root plants have no soil around their roots. Bare root trees, shrubs, and perennials must be planted as soon as possible before growth begins. Find care and planting instructions here: https://www.arborday.org/trees/planting/bare-root.cfm
