3 to 5 inch long needles are very soft and flexible. Fast growing
and long lived, White Pines were once used to make the masts
of sailing ships. Now they are typically planted as wind breaks,
erosion control, and plantation tree for lumber. The inner bark
was once used in cough syrups. Early settlers used to plant
White Pine at new home steads. The trees were used for coffins,
because the softer wood could be shaped more easily and quickly
than oak. |
