Eastern White Pine (Pinus strobus)

All of our potted Eastern White Pine evergreen trees are purchased and shipped from a certified nursery located in Grand Haven, Michigan where we purchased all of our seedling evergreen trees planted on our tree farm and are ready for transplant.

A potted white pine tree can be transplanted into the ground almost any time of the year since their root system is barely disturbed with little or no stress when transplanted from a pot. Transplant this Eastern White Pine tree tomorrow or grow this white pine tree in the existing pot for up to one year.

About Eastern White Pine Evergreen Trees

Eastern White Pine

The Eastern White Pine is commonly referred to as northern white pine, white pine, Weymouth pine, and soft pine. A fast growing pine tree and most diseases resistant of the evergreens and why we recommend the Eastern White Pine.

The Eastern White Pine are the tallest evergreen tree in North America. A hardy, valuable tree with clustered soft blue-green needles. Eastern White Pine is an ideal and popular privacy screen or windbreaker. Likes moist, well drained soils.

The Eastern White Pine is usually fast growing to approx. 80' to 100' tall with a 35' to 40' spread.

The Eastern White Pine grow between 1' and 2' tall per year at this size depending on the soil and weather conditions. Eastern White Pine can be trained to be more dense by breaking their candles (new growth) in half while budding in the spring.

Evergreen Fertilizer (NPK) Recommendations

Nitrogen (N): Promotes healthy, green foliage growth.
Phosphorus (P): Aids in the development of a strong root system.
Potassium (K): Boosts overall plant health and helps trees fight disease.

For evergreen trees, a complete fertilizer with a NPK ratio of 10-8-15 or a balanced formula like 10-10-10 is recommended to support foliage, root development, and overall health. Fertilizers with higher nitrogen content are also beneficial for foliage growth, and it's important to choose a fertilizer designed for evergreen or acid-loving plants, as they often prefer slightly acidic soil.

10-8-15: A frequently recommended ratio that provides a good balance of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium for evergreen health.

10-10-10: A versatile, balanced option that provides a complete supply of essential nutrients.

Slow-release formulas can provide nutrients gradually over a longer period, such as those with a 13-5-6 NPK ratio.

Evergreen trees thrive in slightly acidic soil (pH just under 7.0). Choose a complete fertilizer that contains all three macronutrients (N, P, and K). Fertilize in late fall or early spring, and consider using slow-release or spike fertilizers for gradual nutrient delivery.

An ideal NPK ratio for evergreen trees has a higher nitrogen content than phosphorus and potassium. Evergreens generally prefer acidic soil, so specific formulas, such as 10-8-6, 16-4-8, or even a balanced 10-10-10, can work well, depending on your soil conditions and tree's needs. To determine the best fertilizer for your specific soil, it is recommended to get a soil analysis. Purchase a Soil PH Meter or Tester and maybe a Soil Moisture Tester to determine your soil PH level and moisture.
