CHRISTMAS TREE: WHITE PINE

The White Pine tree name is strictly descriptive: the tree belongs to the family of pines and its wood is white.  White pines grow particularly straight in the wild, and they were widely used for ships' masts.  The range is limited to the upper east coast of the US and contingent Canadian forests:

It's characteristics are well suited for Christmas tree decorations and ornaments:

the color is a slightly bluish to silver medium green
the foliage is lush, creating a great backdrop to Christmas tree decorations
needles grow in groups of 4 and are extremely soft
branches are quite flexible, so it's easy to work in Christmas decorations, ornaments, and strands
excellent shape
extremely mild fragrance, great for people with allergies

Here are 2 pictures of the Eastern White Pine tree: the first on a White Pine farm, and the second of the same tree in nature.

The natural maximum height range of the Eastern White Pine is 140-150 feet.  The White Pine Christmas tree has a top age range of 200 years for many trees, with anomalies reaching over 400 years.  Here are two photos of the leaves and the branch.
