Eastern White Pine Tree Care in the Philadelphia Area

How to spot eastern white pine

• Soft, flexible needles in bundles of five
• Long, slender cones
• Tall, tiered branching with a feathery look
• Often planted in rows as a windbreak or screen

Eastern white pines grow tall and somewhat brittle, and their wide, soft branches catch a lot of wind, snow, and ice. After winter storms they're one of the evergreens we get called about most — split leaders, broken tops, and limbs down.

On big white pines near the house, the work is usually clearing storm breakage, reducing weight, and taking down ones that have lost their leader or split.
