Why plant Eastern White Pine?
The majestic Eastern White Pine is a large, fast-growing tree for spacious properties that makes one of the quickest and prettiest evergreen privacy screens you can buy. The foliage consists of long, thin needles light green in color with a slightly bluish cast. Eastern White Pines produce light brown cones that mature in late summer. White Pines also provide food and shelter for countless species of birds and other wildlife. And to top it all off, unlike many fast-growing trees, White Pine is remarkably long-lived, so this legacy tree will not only please your household, but will enrich the lives of several generations to come.
Massive (200-foot) White Pines once covered the Northeast, but the usefulness of their wood brought about the near-total demise of these giants. Their long trunks (“boles”) were much in demand for sailing ship masts (and the British harvest of them hotly contested in the period leading up to the Revolutionary War). White Pines still thrive in the East, but today they serve peaceful purposes. The wood is used in framing houses and for paper pulp; young trees are grown for Christmas trees. And “pine tar” is the stuff still used famously by baseball players!
How to use Eastern White Pine in the landscape?
If you're looking for a fast growing evergreen, then look no further! Let this wonderful native Pine’s fluffy clouds of soft, blue-green foliage absorb traffic noise and headlight glare, while filling your yard with the fresh, calming fragrance of Pine needles and the relaxing “whisper” of the wind through Pine trees. An ideal specimen tree for large areas.
Planting Zones
Hardiness Zone: 3-8
How To Plant Eastern White Pine
Eastern White Pine prefers a cool-summer climate, like that found in its native haunts in New England, the Great Lakes States, and high elevations in the South. It’s easy to transplant, and makes a fast growing tree in youth, slowing down in old age. Each year’s new flush of growth radiates from around the same point on the trunk, creating a tiered effect. Lower tiers can be removed to create an open space underneath, or left in place to make for an easy—though rather sticky—climbing tree.
How To Water
When freshly planted, it is best to water your new Eastern White pine slowly, deeply, and thoroughly. For the first growing season, water this way every two to three days, lessening the frequency to four to five days as you enter fall. For ongoing care, established White Pine are drought tolerant, but don't be afraid to supplement during excessively dry periods.
How To Fertilize
Incorporate Elements Starter Plant food granular form into the soil when planting. If planting in spring or summer, start fertilizing late fall using Elements Starter Plant food granular form on an annual basis each late fall. Continue this for the first three years to get your plant well established.
How To Prune
Eastern White Pines do not require pruning often. However, as they mature, their lower branches naturally die. It is best to remove these in late winter to early spring, before the tree begins to actively grow.
How Does Shipping Work?
Bower & Branch Trees, the real BIG trees, don’t fit in a box! Our big trees, sizes XL and bigger, require expert delivery and care, that means our extra-large trees are shipped on Bower & Branch trucks. We are the only ones who know how to ship our big and bigger trees and plants with tender loving care. We deliver your trees and plants directly to you. Ask Bower & Branch about planting services – we'd be happy to assist in installation.
*For Big trees and Shrubs, Size XL and bigger: Review our Seasonal Shipping Timelines and Policy here.
Your trees and plants are grown across the United States at various Bower & Branch Growers. Depending on your location, your plant orders may be shipped from various locations. Please expect orders with multiple items to be delivered over a number of days as a result. Orders made up of numerous items or selections will not arrive at your home on the same day.
Shipping Delays:
From time to time, Bower & Branch Growers may determine to delay order shipment based on various factors for plant health. Weather in your region, as well as, where your plants are grown, is always considered when shipping. Extreme weather conditions may delay some or all of your order. Bower & Branch allows our Growers to make final shipping decisions based solely to benefit your trees and plants’ health and success.
How Does Sizing Work?
The size of our trees have nothing to do with the container size like you may find elsewhere–big doesn't mean just height - it’s also vigor, age, and overall health. Other online retailers are going to tell you that a plant is a seven gallon, that means nothing to your tree or plant (or you.)
Our trees for sale online are graded on large, x-large, and even bigger sizes. This is because our trees are sized by their age—the higher the letter, the more mature the tree. The age determines the trees’ overall height, size of the trunk and the overall branch density.
All of these characteristics are what you should be looking for when choosing a tree for immediate impact and instant curb appeal. Our extra-large tree and plant sizes are sure to wow you and your neighbors!
