Eastern white pine is a fine textured evergreen that is seen in landscapes throughout Iowa. It is distinguished by soft, long, bluish-green needles that are arranged in bundles and craggy-looking bark that is often covered with dried white sap. White pines will start producing slender, brown pine cones in maturity. Some needles may turn yellow in the fall and shed, adding some interest to the autumn landscape. Eastern white pine does best in acidic, moist, well-drained soils in full sun to part shade. Does not do well in compacted soils. 'Blue Shag' is known for its intensely blue needles, dwarf, globose form, and dense habit.
Pinus strobus is an Iowa native.
