Top 4 Types of Christmas Trees #4: White Pine

What is a White Pine?

Native to the Great Lakes region and Eastern North America, the White Pine is a long-needled tree with soft needles as long as five inches.

 What does it look like?

White pines look full and fluffy. Their light green needles appear inviting to touch. Don't be surprised if children and adults alike reach out to pet these trees!

Appearance: While some prefer the soft fullness of white pines to other types of trees, the long, bendy needles might not let you decorate them the way you want. For example, they are not conducive to supporting heavy ornaments.

How does it smell?

White pines have a slight yet pleasant fragrance, stronger than the Scotch Pine but less than the Balsam.

How should I decorate it?

White pines look fantastic decorated with lights and garlands, ribbons, or lightweight ornaments. But remember, the flexible needles do not easily withstand heavy ornaments.
