White Pine Trees

The Eastern White Pine (also known as Pinus strobus), as its name suggests, is native to eastern and northeastern parts of the United States (also known as the northern pine and the Weymouth pine, among other names) as well as southeastern Canada, even stretching into the northern midwest in states like Michigan and Minnesota. Like other pines, it grows at a fast rate. However, White Pines grow faster than their pine counterparts, reaching upwards of 2 feet annually.
