eastern white pine

Overview

Eastern white pine (Pinus strobus 'Sea Urchin') is a variety of white pine with an attractive, bushy form. It features soft green needles and is considered hardy in USDA zones 3 to 8. The attractive, rounded shape of the 'Sea Urchin' lends itself well to use in groupings and as a hedge. It also makes a great specimen plant or container accent. Growing slowly to a height of 40 feet with an equal width spread, it benefits from being sheared annually to create denser foliage. Easy to maintain, with minimal pruning, this conifer needs full sun and well-drained soil for best growth.
