The White Pine is an excellent Christmas tree. It is a native tree that made Wisconsin famous in the old logging days. The soft long needles have a blue green color with just a hint of white to make this tree a favorite of pine buyers. The slender and flexible needles are 2" to 5" long in bundles of five. Moderately strong boughs weep gracefully when hung with ornaments. Years of meticulous shearing create a beautiful, dense conical shaped tree that stands strait and retains it's needles throughout the Christmas season. Because it prefers moist, sandy soils and cold winters, it is especially suited for growing in Wisconsin.
