It is also known as Northern White Pine or just White Pine.
White Pine prefer full sun and well drained soils, and so planting in light to dark sandy loamy soils in open spaces is ideal. This species does well in mild to moderate drought once established with good deep root systems. The mature height, branching nature and seed type make this pine species an ideal squirrel, chipmunk and bird shelter and food source. Birds of prey often nest in White Pine due to the high vantage point and the animals attracted by its seed.
