Scientific Name Pine, White - Pinus strobus
Pine trees are cone bearing trees and can therefore be classified as coniferous. Other coniferous trees include Douglas Fir trees, spruce trees, redwood trees and cedar trees.
Pine trees are used as evergreen windbreaks on farms, provide green landscapes during the winter months, and are often used as Christmas decorations for the holiday season. Nothing says Christmas like the smell of pine logs burning in an open fireplace.
Parks Canada set fire to the shores of an island in the St Lawrence River in an effort to save the rare pitch pine trees from the ravages of the pine beetle.

nesting sites as well for many birds, including woodpeckers, common grackles, mourning
doves, chickadees and nuthatches.
History/Lore/Use:
The Eastern White Pine tree has been referred to as "the monarch of the forest."
Some that greeted the first settlers reached a height of 250 feet with diameters of 6
feet. They were a bonanza for England in colonial times, as they met a vital military and
commercial need for sailing ship masts. Since the colonists were rapidly using up the
existing supply of trees close to the ocean that were large enough for masts, the Royal
Navy appealed to Parliament. As a result, in 1691 Great Britain imposed the first of the
so-called "broad arrow" acts, so named because of the axe mark placed on the
reserved trees by the king's men, that reserved these trees for the English government.
Growing resentment to the crown's appropriation of the choicest White Pines helped
precipitate the Revolutionary War, and the first flag of the revolutionary forces even had
a White Pine as its emblem.

Pine Tree Trivia
The wood of the Scots Pine was used for ship's masts, turpentine, resin, tar and furniture.
The oldest growing pine species is the bristlecone pine, pinus longaeva, which can reach more than 4,000 years in age. The oldest bristlecone pine tree on record stands in the White Mountains of California, USA and is said to be 5,062 years old.
Pine Mouth Syndrome is a medical condition caused by eating the nut of the Chinese White Pine which is mildly toxic.
The crooked forest, located in Poland, is a stand of approximately 400 bent pine trees. Each tree is bent at a 90 degree angle near its base. It is thought that these trees were shaped by humans sometime in the 1930s but no one really knows what caused this strange phenomenon.
