Pinus strobus

Pinus strobus is a conifer native to northern and eastern North America.

It reaches approximately 30–60 meters in height.

The needles, 5 on short shoots, are blue-green, flexible, and thin.

The shoots are greenish or greenish-brown for several years, usually finely pubescent or glabrous. The buds are ovate, pointed, and covered with resin.

The mature cones are brown, cylindrical, narrow, and long, usually slightly curved, hanging on short peduncles, and often resinous.

Pinus strobus grows best in a sunny or lightly shaded location, sheltered from strong winds. It prefers moderately moist, well-drained, humus-rich, and slightly acidic soil.
