The White Pine has long, soft, flexible needles and is bluish-green in color. Its soft, feathery needles are 3 - 5 inches long, giving this tree a furry appearance making it fun to pet. White Pine’s have decent needle retention, but have little aroma and are economically priced because of their faster growth during production.
