White Pine Christmas trees are a long-time standard. This tree is very light with flexible branches and soft needles you can literally tickle someone with! These branches are soft, slim and flexible with bluish-green to silver- green foliage that is regularly arranged in bundles of five needles. The needles are 2 1/2 - 5 inches long and are usually shed at the end of the second growing season. White pines have good needle retention.

White pines drove the Ontario and Canadian economy for 100 years throughout the 1800's. On the former Canadian Dollar bill, the reverse side has a scene with the federal parliament buildings in Ottawa featured in the background, seen from across the river in Hull. The Ottawa river has logs floating down the river and one can bet that a significant number of those logs were White Pine. Many of the finest specimens of white_pine_which can reach more than 80 feet in height, were sent to Europe to be used as masts on sailing ships. Makes one think what we'll be doing in 100 years into the future.
