Pinus strobus
Eastern white pine, Michigan's state tree, is a majestic evergreen native to eastern North America. It is recognized by its soft, blue-green needles borne in bundles of five and its tall, straight form. Eastern white pine provides year-round cover and nesting habitat for wildlife and produces seeds that are an important food source for birds and small mammals. Adaptable to a range of site conditions, it is commonly used in naturalized landscapes, windbreaks, and conservation plantings.
