The Eastern White Pine is a very rare tree in my forest, but quite abundant beyond my boundaries, with plenty of specimens just upslope to the north and west. Basically, I have a small grove in the far NW corner of Lot C. Three fairly large trees grow here, along with two medium-sized ones and about 11 small ones. The bottom tree in the picture above is my furthest NW Eastern White Pine - the trees beyond that are in the neighboring lot. The Eastern White Pine is distinguished by being the only pine species in eastern North America with 5 needles per bundle. Mature specimens are usually emergent above the deciduous canopy. Moving uphill towards the NW corner of Lot C, I encounter the first pines. Two largish pines growing side-by-side, the one on the left being just outside my boundary, and the one on the right being just inside my boundary, with a circumference at chest-height of 4ft 11.75".
Further uphill to the north, the second large specimen has a bit of a misshapen top. Its circumference at chest-height is 5ft 0.5".
The third large specimen is just inside my NW corner. It is the largest and finest of my Eastern White Pine trees, circumference at chest-height, 5ft 6".
Other pines in this grove are significantly smaller. The first picture below shows two medium/small-sized pines in the middle of the grove, with a circumference of 3ft 7.5". The second picture shows one of my ~11 small pines.
