* Gauged by the number of needles retained on January 1st by a tree cut on Thanksgiving and well cared for thereafter. Poor does not mean the tree will simply be a bunch of barren twigs – it will still look presentable, but significantly sparser than when it was cut.

White Pine 10'-12'
More Info
White Pine have incredibly soft, fluffy needles that make them very inviting trees. These needles also have the excellent habit of staying on the trees for a long time after they are cut. Some 80-90% of the live needles remain on a well cared for tree after a month or more. However, the branches are on the flimsy side. Customers with even moderately heavy ornaments or large lights may want to consider a different species. Some also dislike the dense foliage of the white pine, which leaves little room for sizeable ornaments to hang freely. The mostly absent aroma of White Pines is a benefit to those who suffer from allergies to pine resin.
Strange fact: large and comely White Pine were highly sought after for use as ship masts in colonial times. Promising specimens were marked at an early age to be reserved for the British royal navy, an activity some colonists tacked on to the score of oppressions they felt the British crown imposed upon them.
Price and Availability
White Pine may be purchased as choose-and-cut, pre-cut, dug, pre-dug, and mini-dug (what do these mean?). The cut and pre-cut prices are identical, as the dug and pre-dug prices.

1We measure Christmas tree size as the height from the cut to the topmost whorl of branches just below the leader (what if I cut out just the top of a tree?). We measure dug trees from the ground to the topmost whorl.
2Numbers are approximate, based on estimates made of Christmas grade trees at the start of the season. We cannot guarantee availability. Call ahead to verify our stock and, if desired, reserve a pre-cut tree. Note that we will only hold trees until same-day close of business.
