Eastern white pine (Pinus strobus), Cone of the Month for May, 2021
Illustrated by Sunny Eckerle
This behemoth of the east once stood in dense stands from the Great Lakes to Maine, but almost all of the original forests have been cut. This five-needle pine is the only white pine native in its region.
Fun Fact: Helped cause the American Revolution. (Look it up: The King’s Broad Arrow and Eastern White Pine)
