This fine-textured pine is handsome in both form and color. The needles grow in groups of five, and the cones are slender and often have a curved shape. It is quite an ornamental tree, especially the young trees, whose bark is smooth and grey.

The White Pine is an inportant timber tree, but must be monitored for burn due to its susceptibility in windy areas. It will survive in many types of soils, as long as they remain well-drained.
