Status

Eastern White Pine is a tree of the northeastern states and the Appalachian mountains. It is established in Maryland, but is native only in the western part of the state, where it is common, and in the northern tier of counties (Brown and Brown, 1972).

Description

Eastern White Pine is our only pine in which the needles are in bundles of five. The needles are long, slender, flexible, and glaucous or bluish-green. Branches generally extend from the trunk in even whorls rather than staggered randomly. The mature female cones are long and nearly cylindrical, with scales that are thin, rounded, and lacking prickles (Brown and Brown, 1972).

Where To Find

"Few forests in Maryland can be characterized as old growth, meaning they survived the widespread cutting of trees that occurred in the eastern United States from the late 1800s to the early 1900s. Nestled within Swallow Falls State Park and hugging the Youghiogheny River [in Garrett County] is Maryland's oldest grove of eastern hemlock and white pine, some of which are reported to be at least 360 years old" (Maryland DNR: Swallow Falls)

Relationships

Associated with Earth-gray Tricholoma, Painted Bolete, American Slippery Jack, and Suillus lactifluus.
